He doesn't have much in the way of a professional background with regards to graphic design (yet!), but is looking forward to acting as a liaison between the student body here in the Sault and the professional designers of our community. Dan would also like to thank everyone for their consideration.

Her list of organizations she’s volunteered for in the past include: RGD Ontario, Chamber of Commerce, Women’s Leadership Conference, Red Cross, and much more. Her entrepreneur spirit demonstrates her passion for graphic design and this passion has reached over to create a successful business with her sister Melissa Wendling. Her enthusiasm to educate individuals, businesses, and Northern Ontario communities has increase her attendance in being a keynote speaker at events such as “Trade Skills for Women!”. If you want a vice president who is passionate, motivated, and can speak up for the group’s thoughts/ideas then vote Jessica Wendling for VP. Thank you for your consideration.
