Montreal Office - Concordia University
"Things are just as sweet the second time around! It still amazes me how much I have grown in the
last two years. I still can't believe that this is my second scholarship with Vector! Winning a
scholarship during my last year of school while working as an Assistant Manager in Montreal was
incredible - espeically since I was in training to open up my own office. I want to thank my manager
Chris Tammi, for always challenging me to become a better rep, manager; and most importantly,
a better person. I am so excited to run the Brampton office. The Vector Opportunity has changed
me so much; I can't wait to take the next step on my journey. Nobody I know loves their work as
much as I do, and I am thankful every day for the wonderful experiences and people that Vector
has introduced me to. It's our time in 2009!!"

Winnipeg Office - University of Manitoba
"My time at Vector has been a great experience because of the people I’ve meet and the valuable
things I’ve learned. The opportunity will definitely help me excel in my business career and in life
in general. I am proud to have won my second scholarship this winter, finishing in seventh place
again! I am especially pleased since this was my last scholarship race as I have graduated from
university. It was so gratifying to accomplish my goal! A ‘thank you’ to my manager Justin for all
the help he gave me and the opportunities he provided for me."

#8 Lacy Grambo - $200
Saskatoon Office - University of Saskatchewan
"This is my third scholarship with Vector and it still feels great to be recognized for my hard work!
It is hard to believe that I have only been with the company for a year and I have accomplished so
much in such a very short time. I love that with this job there is constantly something to work
towards and new challenges to overcome! I am very excited to be a Branch Manager this summer!!
It is going to be a new experience and a lot of hard work but it is something I feel I am ready to take
on! I am really looking forward to being in a position where I can give someone the same
opportunities I’ve had. It is going to be an exciting summer and I am looking forward to the
challenge!"

Calgary Office - University of Calgary
"If I had to describe my Vector Experience in one word it would be ‘fulfilling’. Whether it’s providing an amazing
product to customers as a rep or helping others to succeed as a manager - either way I wake up with a strong
sense of purpose. I was immediately attracted to Vector because of the product, but I’ve stayed with the
company for two years because of the personal growth it has to offer. I get chills when I listen to speakers at
conferences and I am reminded daily of how special it is to be a part of this organization. Winning my first
scholarship during the busiest semester I’ve ever had (training to run my own branch as well as earning good
grades) is a testimony to the time management and goal setting skills I’ve acquired while working here. My
parents are in awe of the opportunity I have to run my own business AND be close to home. Whatever I do in
the future I know that I will be truly successful because of the lessons I’ve learned and the amazing people
I’ve met through Vector!"

#10 Valerie McMaster - $200
Ottawa Office - Algonquin College
"I love being on the Ottawa Team! When I got the position, I knew I had secured my summer job
and found an interesting way to make some money - what I didn’t know was that I was going to
develop skills and friendships that would change my life. The time management and presentation
skills that I’ve developed have given me the confidence to succeed in any area when I graduate. I
cannot think of a better job to have as a student! A special thanks to Mike and Lia for your help -
I can’t wait to see what you do with your talents. Of course I’d also like to say thank you to Joe
Cardillo for all of your support over the years - you have made a permanent impression on my life.
Congratulations to all the scholarship winners!"
