“We know this is a difficult time for many businesses in Kelowna. Collaborative online strategy sessions are the best way to empower and support businesses,” said William Walczak, Hiilite’s Chief Executive Officer and UBC consumer behaviour professor.

Hiilite’s Chief Brand Officer Tina Walczak added, “Recovery can be a long and painful process, but as a collective, we can potentially grow our businesses during these uncertain times.”

While William and Tina will be leading the sessions, the meetings are designed to be collaborative.
