Lisa McCormack
March 5, 2012
WOMEN applauds Lisa McCormack, of Remax 3000 Ltd for being WOW. Lisa is motivated by a passion and drive for doing what she loves. She firmly believes and exemplifies that “if you can find a passion to do something you love, you will never work a day in your life.” This passion and drive is what motivates Lisa McCormack.
Lisa began her entrepreneurial journey as a certified Personal Fitness Trainer. Along with her husband & business partner Cory, she owned & operated Miramichi Health Club, a successful fitness centre for several years. They sold the business when an excellent opportunity presented itself.
Lisa is now nearing her tenth year as a self-employed Real Estate Professional with a thriving business in Miramichi.

Additionally, Lisa received the Top Producer award for Miramichi & Northumberland County from 2008 through to 2010 (based on MLS statistics). Most recently she was recognized at the National Level when she received the prestigious Platinum award. This is the first time this award has ever been presented in Miramichi. Lisa was further awarded for her commitment to her profession when she was inducted into the Remax Hall of Fame, which she accomplished in just five years. In 2009, Lisa was also awarded the Miramichi Young Professional and Involved Entrepreneurs (MYPIE) Professional of the Year award at its inaugural Gala event.
Lisa believes in giving back to the community. She was a guest speaker at an International Women’s Day event, speaks on “Success versus Significance” at the Community College and volunteered with a Junior Achievement program in Miramichi. Lisa is also an active member of the Miramichi Chamber of Commerce, as President of Toastmasters, as a Board Member Miramichi Young Professionals and Involved Entrepreneurs (MYPIE) and a Board Member of our very own Women of Miramichi Entrepreneurial Network (WOMEN).

Lorie Ann Richard
March 12, 2012
WOMEN applauds Lorie Richard, Commercial Account Manager with Beaubear Credit Union for being the Woman of the Week – WOW! Congratulations are extended to Lorie on her hard work, dedication and professionalism leading to her recent promotion as Commercial Account Manager. After her daughter was born, Lorie was looking for a new job that would provide a better schedule for her family. Once she applied for and received a position as a teller with Beaubear, Lorie was on an upward path. She progressed to personal loan administrator, then commercial loan administrator and recently advanced to managing the commercial account portfolio.
Lorie is excited about this new opportunity and aspires to be a Great Commercial Lender. She is thankful for the help, support and encouragement of her Beaubear co-workers who have enabled her to strive for goals higher than she ever dreamt possible. Lorie moved into the Commercial Account position, previously filled by Tosha Hamilton, a fellow WOMEN member, who has moved onto Branch Manager. Lorie pays tribute to her colleague by striving to reach the level of professionalism and lending knowledge standards previously set by Tosha.
We are thrilled to recognize Lorie for her hard work, dedication, commitment and her many achievements with Beaubear Credit Union. We are confident that these qualities will lead her to great success as Beaubear’s new Commercial Account Manager. WOMEN wishes her many years of continued business success providing top quality lending solutions to her clients.

March 19, 2012
Congratulations Clarissa Harris-LeBreton, you are WOW!
WOMEN applauds Clarissa Harris-LeBreton, Coordinator of Vision Health Promotion and Marketing with CNIB (Canadian National Institute of the Blind) for the Maritimes. Clarissa is also a valued member of our WOMEN Board of Directors.
Clarrisa’s career began in journalism and later merged into marketing, sales and communications. While assisting several population-health based programs with marketing and communications Clarissa became inspired to help communities promote good lifestyle practices and provide citizens with knowledge that would enable them to make good choices. An opportunity arose within CNIB and Clarissa was happy to put her skills and knowledge to work with this great organization.
CNIB is Canada’s oldest charity, formed in 1914. Their mission is to enhance independence for people living with vision loss. Clarissa manages CNIB’s Eye Safety Program throughout New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. Through this program she teaches the importance of good vision health and safety practices at work, at home and at play. She strives to educate about vision loss so people can make good choices about their vision.
Currently, Clarissa is coordinating Dining in the Dark, an evening of exceptional food, wine, conversation and blindfolds, in support of CNIB initiatives. The event takes place on March 31 from 6-9 pm at the Newcastle Lions Center. WOMEN encourages everyone to take part in this wonderful event that will be sure to provide new insights into the experiences of the blind and partially sighted.
Clarissa is known in the Miramichi community for her work within the health authority and the Mango team, helping to promote knowledge and awareness of healthy eating and physical activity to citizens. She continues to volunteer with the program in events such as the Mango Fun Run- Go for 42 kid’s marathon. Clarissa is a member of HEPAC’s (Healthy Eating Physical Activity Coalition of NB) Marketing and Communications team and a member of the Northumberland Wellness Network. In past years, Clarissa has volunteered for the Canadian Diabetes Association, Croft Elementary School and the Miramichi Literacy Council.
Health Promotion and Marketing is a vehicle to create awareness on good lifestyle practices for citizens in communities. Clarissa is passionate about giving individuals the information they need to make informed decisions about their well-being. That is why her work with CNIB is so important to her: educating people in the Maritimes about the importance of vision health and safety. Passion, drive and commitment in an individual cannot go unnoticed and recently, Clarissa was recognized for her community commitment and contributions with a nomination and announcement as a Community Champion finalist in the upcoming Annual MYPIE Gala taking place on April 21.
Clarissa enjoys her home in Miramichi and spends her time with her family, attending church, sporting events and walking the beautiful Strawberry Marsh.
We are so pleased to recognize Clarissa’s many, many accomplishments and her numerous outstanding contributions. It is a pleasure to have her among our Board of Directors and we wish her many years of continued success on her journey to inform and educate communities and citizens on important opportunities for them.
