Pam Cooley
Project, Program and Organizational Development
A doer and a problem solver, Pam cuts to the chase and moves mountains! Have a project that's having difficulty getting off the ground or a program that requires implementation? Pam's been called "a practical visionary" who can take your project, program – or entire organization through the steps required.
In late 2008 Pam co-founded the first multi-vehicle CarShare service in Atlantic Canada. Within a year CarShare Atlantic Limited was awarded Gold New Business of the Year for 2010, by the Halifax Chamber of Commerce. CarSharing provides a cost-effective alternative to vehicle ownship, where members pay an annual fee and have round-the-clock self-serve access to the entire fleet via a phone-in or online reservation system. Society benefits with expanded mobility, lower traffic congestion and GHG emissions.
Pam has also received the Canadian Progress Club, Halifax-Cornwallis 2010 Women of Excellence Award in the category "Entrepreneur / Innovator."
