At WOW – World of Women, we believe in the importance of recognizing the women in our network and communities who go above and beyond in embodying our philosophy of women helping women. The Ambassador of the Month is someone who has supported the women in our network through leadership, acts of kindness, mentorship and/or by giving back to our communities. In recognizing these women, we are able to shine the spotlight on our members who are strong and positive role models to us all!

Julie Richer
“We are so very pleased to announce Julie Richer as January’s Ambassador of the month! Julie is an inspiration to the entire WOW Ottawa network; she reminds us all that we are never too old or too wise to go to school, to improve our craft, to explore our authentic self, and more importantly to find the path that makes us truly happy in life. Julie continuously shares her knowledge and coaching skills with the entire network in order for each of us to find our true selves. She has shared her workshops with the WOW network, supporting the women in our group and within Ottawa, and we now look forward to sharing these workshops more regularly as part of our new workshop series in the coming months! Julie is also a huge promoter of WOW in all that she does and always goes the extra mile to support the network and our women whenever she can.” – Julie Poirier – Vice-President, WOW Ottawa

We are very excited to introduce you to WOW’s December Ambassador of the month:
Jennifer Bennett
“December is a month where many of us think about ways in which we can give back to our communities, especially those that are less fortunate than us. Jennifer was one of these people. She was instrumental in organizing charity work across her networks in order to make Ottawa a better place for those who needed a little magic during the holidays. Jennifer is always going above and beyond to give back and support others; she is thoughtful, caring and always in good spirits. During the month of December, Jennifer sought the support of our WOW ambassadors and members by seeking donations of nonperishable food items for the FAMSAC Food Cupboard; she also helped to collect money/warm clothing for Project Ottawa. Without Jennifer’s lead on these initiatives, we wouldn’t have been able to contribute to such a great cause. Jennifer is truly an inspiration to WOW and to our community!” – Carol-Chantal Seguin, WOW’s Founder

We believe in the power of women helping women and are wow’d every day by the women in this group who embody this philosophy!
WOW is different; it’s a group that truly fosters friendships and lasting relationships. I joined WOW not knowing what to expect but have gained more than I could have ever imagined. It didn’t take long before I was WOW’d and was determined to be a part of this growing movement. I was overjoyed to join the WOW Board of Directors in August and to take on a larger role in supporting my fellow ambassadors. So many women in this group have supported me and now I hope to return my thanks tenfold!”
– Amanda Bernardo, WOW – Ottawa Ambassador & Director of Digital Strategy
“WOW is not just a business networking group, it is a diverse collection of women, largely entrepreneurs, who share, network, laugh and cry together, learn, support and grow together. It is a group of cherished friends. I have definitely experienced personal growth as I learn that it’s not just me, but many of us, who are faced with the same challenges in life and in business.” – Tracy Jenks Wilson, WOW – Ottawa Ambassador

“WOW!”
In August of 2015, after following much of her work, WOW invited Amanda Bernardo to join the Board of Directors as Director of Branding and Public Relations! From the first day we met Amanda, we knew she would be the perfect person to not only assist us in our re-branding efforts but also the perfect person to assist our members with improving their own brand, communications and public outreach efforts.
