We are a small but mighty team, made up of individuals who come from lived experience of Executive or Senior level leadership. Each of us had been impacted by workplace challenges, pressures, or toxic culture, all of which eventually led us through waves of burnout and health challenges. Having to face the outcomes of burnout, we were forced to weather the storm however that looked for each of us.

As a collective, we have come together to find a way to advocate for new leaders and develop a system of support for nonprofit organizations, associations, small businesses, and start-up initiatives. We aim to grow our membership, made up of seasoned leaders, to be able to share knowledge, create a space for support and think tanks, as well as collectively create ways to advocate for Pink Elephant workplace issues.

At S.H.E., we bring compassion, empathy, and humility into our work. Always leaning on our learnings, and creating avenues for open conversations and continual growth. We strive to keep our minds curious, learn from each other, and bring attention and care to the work we do for you and your team. We are a Fractional Executive Support, made by and for leaders like yourself. We are here to fill the gaps in your organization or start-up, where resources may be limited, meeting our mission to reduce executive burnout by providing services that will bring back a sense of work-life balance. We aim to reduce workloads, strengthen organizational systems, strengthen boards and board processes, and talk about the impacts of executive burnout not on just the individual, but also on the team, organization, and the community as a whole. We advocate for change, support workplace policy by driving awareness, and speak to Pink Elephant topics that are often avoided.

Welcome to S.H.E. Innovates Employment Solutions, where we walk the fine balance to get things done. We look forward to connecting soon!

Living in a big city can be tough. For most low income earners, just getting by is hard enough. Throw in an injury or a lost job and suddenly the whole family is at risk. The Samaritan Club of Calgary is dedicated to providing short term assistance to Calgarians in need.

We provide support to those in crisis only by referral from health care professionals, social workers, and community support workers. Each request must come through an email to  samaritanclubofcalgary@gmail.com  , a telephone call or written letter to our mailbox.

Samaritan Club members are a dedicated team of some 150 women who raise funds throughout the year to support their initiatives. The majority of the funds continue to be raised through the famous Super Sales held in both the Spring and Fall at the Hillhurst-Sunnyside Community Centre. Other events such as bridge luncheons, casinos and golf tournaments are periodically staged to provide additional revenue.

An outstanding feature of the Samaritan Club of Calgary is that it operates without any administrative overhead. Members pay an annual fee to ensure that 100% of the funds raised in the community can be directed to those in need.

<p>Second Harvest is the largest food rescue organization in Canada and a global thought leader in food recovery.</p>
<p>We work across the supply chain from farm to retail to capture surplus food before it ends up in the landfill which negatively impacts our environment.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Every year, we recover millions of pounds of nutritious, unsold food — focusing on protein, dairy and produce — which we rescue before it becomes waste. We redistribute it to a broad network of over 4,000 social service organizations. Supported by hundreds of corporations, foundations, and the community at large, we rescue and redistribute enough food to provide thousands of meals a day in Canada.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Since 1985 we have rescued and delivered more than 177 million pounds of food, preventing over 75 million pounds of greenhouse gas equivalents from entering our atmosphere.</p>
