 She is a dynamic and powerful communicator who possesses the ability to 
 make complex subjects understandable.”\n\nMelanie goes the extra mile 
 to ensure that each student has the resources they need to do well. She 
 is available for her students in the evening and on weekends and truly t
 hrives on seeing each student succeed. It is no wonder that she has won

 by her nominators as being one of the most passionate people within the 
 industry: “Melanie seems to attend every industry function she can. Sh
 e is everywhere, it seems! We see her at golf tournaments, seminars, con
 vocation, and even the Insurance Broker Association’s monthly meetings
 .” She is a positive advocate for the Industry, and while teaching is 
 her job, she also gives back to the Industry by volunteering her time to
  teach CIP courses and the RIBO licensing course.\n\nMelanie is also a p
 roud supporter of the Insurance Institute. She volunteers for the Career
  Connections Ambassador program encouraging young people to consider a c
 areer in the Insurance Industry. She also volunteers as a member of the

  devotes herself to Breast Cancer awareness, coordinating the Economical
  Insurance Group’s participation in the CIBC Run for the Cure in Octob
 er. She has also taken on coordinating the Salvation Army Adopt-A-Family
  project and was instrumental in setting up the program when she first j
 oined Economical nearly four years ago. Financially, she contributes to 
 the United Way, The MS Society, and Habitat for Humanity.\n\n“Melanie 
 has demonstrated to me time and again that she is an exceptional communi
