Andrea Belvedere is a leader who makes every moment count.
The fourth-year Ted Rogers School of Management student has been recognized this week by the national organization, Women’s Executive Network, as one of Canada’s Top 100 Most Powerful Women. Belvedere won in the future leaders category for her outstanding accomplishments, demonstrated vision and leadership and commitment to the community.
Belvedere is the outgoing president of SIFE (Students In Free Enterprise) Ryerson, an organization that creates economic opportunities for students by developing ideas and connecting individuals. Under Belvedere’s two-year leadership, SIFE Ryerson created more than $20 million in new economic opportunity; had an operating budget of more than $500,000; grew to 104 active members who ran seven programs, 34 projects and over 80 events in 2008 and 2009. Belvedere also led her SIFE team to 15 awards including two national and three regional championships.

SIFE Ryerson is looking to hire some volunteers for different projects/roles. I encourage everyone to see all the available positions. If you can’t decide between them, come to our general meetings Tuesdays at 12 noon to 1pm (TRSM 3-129) and you can pick for yourself what you would like to get involved in.
