What are three of your favorite memories from GEAPS?

• I recall over COVID: the camaraderie & determination of our
  Board, support from GEAPS International, and most of all the
  virtual participation by Canadian Prairies Chapter Members,
  to keep us thriving.
• The Coolest Show. Hosted in Winnipeg, MB. It's truly cool in
  many ways - come visit!
• The Exchange: not just the events & programs, but also the
  incredible networking opportunities
• 
  What is the best advice you have received from another
  GEAPS member?
  Nelson Boles, Founding Member, GEAPS Canadian Prairies
  Chapter: "Stay engaged. Work with & for your community. I am
  retired, over 75 years old, and I still come out to chapter events
  when I can."
• 
  What is one industry-wide trend affecting your company
  right now? How are you reacting to it?
  Lack of Predictability: a function of Political, Environmental &
  Technological growths & demands. Hi Tech Team is learning
  & evolving with the changing trends and making informed
  thought-through decisions to manage project risks.
• 
  What is something unique about the grain industry in your
  region?
  To re-phrase and add to Canada Action: Canadian Prairies with
  our flat terrain, fertile soil and long, sunny growing season, are
  ideally suited for grain & crop farming. We produce high yields
  of high-quality grain & crops, and along with the US are one the
  largest exporters worldwide. Cheers!
