Agent of Change 

In addition to facilitating change through her speaking and consulting, Anna actively involves herself in the tourism community by creating agencies for change. Early in her career, she worked closely with the tourism industry in western Canada to help organize the Tourism Industry Association of BC which later became the Council of Tourism Associations; and undertook the first analysis of career paths and created the first occupational typology for tourism in Canada that led to the Pacific Rim Institute of Tourism.

Her current concern about climate change and the need for the tourism industry to adopt more climate friendly practices, led to her co-founding The Icarus Foundation a Canada-based not-for-profit organisation based in Toronto.
