Sabrina Moore-Frazer of Kollektiv shares in this blog how I supported her during this last term with challenges that her small business faced.

Imagine wiping everyone out in a business, only to rehire all new staff to operate it. How long would it take for them to learn roles & responsiblities and get things off and running? It’s worth having an incumbent or two on council to help new team members learn the ropes!

Selective voting lets you focus on candidates who truly align with your beliefs. Instead of feeling pressured to fill in every box just to complete your ballot, take the time to evaluate each candidate on their own merit.

One of the big things I’ve learned is that even when I think I’ve got it all figured out, something unexpected can pop up and change my whole perspective. There have been moments where I've felt super confident about a decision, only to later find out new info that flips everything upside down.

I stepped in. Some people know I can be a bit of a bulldog - I don’t let up once I know something’s not right. This was one of those times.

Choosing the harder, principaled path, over the popular one isn’t always easy - but it is what I believe allows me to maintain a level of integrity that I value.
