Volunteer Profile

 “I love making other people’s day; it raises my energy and theirs. It’s a great feeling.”  This motto  has guided Pam Ford’s career decisions in the last few years.

Pam spent 24 years in the securities industry at Burns Fry, TD Securities and Scotia Capital. Over this period of time, Pam acquired an extensive background in the wholesale financial services market, and was one of the few who had the opportunity to successfully transition from the trading desk to product sales and ultimately relationship management for some of Canada's largest corporate and provincial accounts.
Seven years ago she left that life to spend time at home with her son and not long after was introduced to Sendoutcards. Pam has always loved giving gifts so signing on with Sendoutcards was a natural fit. The fit stems from Pam’s entrepreneurial spirit as she takes pride in being responsible for her own success.
The Oakville Chamber has been an integral part of Pam’s entrepreneurial success. Shortly after starting her own home based business she learned how to network successfully from some of the best!
The best advice she was given, in order to experience the true value of a chamber membership, was to join a committee. The Boost your Business committee seemed like a natural. It was an opportunity to work with like-minded individuals in order to source the best talent for the Chamber’s educational and informational events.  Out of that experience has come not only some great educational programs, but also life time friendships and that’s what makes volunteering at the Chamber so rewarding.
Always a team player and building solid relationships wherever she goes, Pam decided to further enhance her leadership skills by joining Felix Global Corp this past September. Pam’s role is to bring her commitment, team building skills and energy to support Felix clients who are managing change, building teams and identifying opportunities to provide realistic and meaningful solutions to their business needs.

Pam’s ultimate goal is to help others be more successful, realize their dreams and work with the best of the best. It seems that between Sendoutcards and Felix Global she is doing just that.
