    Gratitude and Giving with Dana Lee Harris

    This week, we welcome Dana Lee Harris to the podcast. Dana Harris was born in California, and grew up in both Hawaii and Vancouver, BC. She developed an interest in the hospitality business very early and gained front-of-house experience as a server while taking sales, marketing, business, and event management courses. Her father's hobby wine import business gave her a great introduction to the field of beverage sales, and she worked briefly with his company before it was sold to an agency that she worked with for 13 years. Subsequently, she became the Regional Manager for Robert Mondavi in 2002 and then started her own marketing, PR and events business in 2006 along with being the executive Director of the BC Hospitality Foundation for 3 years. She gives back as a volunteer on many levels... as a fitness instructor, a member of Les Dames d'Escoffier, a board member with the BC Hospitality Foundation and on several hospitality-related committees. She has been married To Dean for over 24 years and is a new grandmother of Charlie, who was named after her father. She loves to golf, workout, entertain and be entertained.  Exchange Quotes: "No matter our circumstances, no matter our challenges or trials, there is something in each day to embrace and cherish. There is something in each day that can bring gratitude and joy if only we will see and appreciate it." – Dieter F. Uchtdorf "Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping," – Fred Rogers "Giving thanks, expressing our gratitude to others, and giving back in even the smallest of ways all add a true richness to our lives." – Kathy Davis Exchange Links: Join the Epic Exchanges Story Circle We are @epicexchanges on Facebook and Instagram www.kellysniderauthor.com
