Passport to Prosperity on the rise with the help of new ECSSM staffer

June 2, 2010

Home sweet home is a well-known phrase Kaitlin DiAngelo could not relate more to. Joining the Sault Ste. Marie Economic Development Corporation after living in southern Ontario for the past four years, she is pleased to be back in her hometown and looks forward to working with the local business community to strengthen the Passport to Prosperity program.

DiAngelo, recent graduate of the Bachelor of Business Administration program at Wilfrid Laurier University, joins the Enterprise Centre Sault Ste. Marie team for the next 12 months to help with the continued growth and evolution of Passport to Prosperity. The provincewide program is designed to increase employer involvement in school-to-work programs for secondary school students.

“I am thrilled to be back home and working in a position that promotes the city and what it has to offer,” said DiAngelo.

As Marketing and Events Coordinator, DiAngelo will be working alongside General Manager Andrew Ross, Terri Chairello and Zoltan Virag to help expand small business development throughout the city and region. In addition to Passport, DiAngelo will focus heavily on event planning, the development of support programs and services, Summer Company, and the launch of the new Virtual Advisor system.

“Kaitlin will bring added depth and expertise to help deliver our programs and services in Sault Ste. Marie and the Algoma District,” said Ross. “She will be a great addition to the team.”
