<p>What began as a profession quickly became a commitment: helping organizations navigate complexity, supporting leaders stepping into meaningful roles, and making the right calls when it matters most.<br><br>June marks my 20th anniversary in the recruiting profession, alongside the 8th year since the founding of The Vogel Group.<br><br>Over the past two decades, I’ve had the privilege of partnering with companies, municipalities, post-secondary institutions, not-for-profits, associations, and regulatory organizations. One thing has remained constant – great leadership changes everything. Not just for organizations, but for the communities they serve.<br>I’m grateful to the clients who have trusted me with critical hires, and to the candidates who have allowed me to play a small role in their career journeys.<br>This milestone isn’t a finish line—it’s a foundation.<br>Leadership expectations are always evolving. The stakes are higher. And thoughtful, strategic recruitment has never been more important.<br>I’m energized for what’s ahead and look forward to bringing 20 years of perspective, judgment, and experience into the next chapter—supporting organizations in making leadership decisions that matter.<br><br>Thank you to everyone who has been part of the journey so far.</p>

<h5><strong>THE QUARTERLY NEWSLETTER FROM THE VOGEL GROUP</strong></h5>
<h5></h5>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5><span style="color: #523178;"><strong>And the beat goes on&#8230;</strong></span></h5>
<p>We can’t say it any better!  Although it has been an interesting and challenging year, we all need to keep putting one foot in front of the other …. striving for our best.</p>
<p>Keeping that in mind, take a minute out of your hectic schedule to enjoy the beauty of fall.   Whether you visit a corn maze, go apple picking, enjoy a harvest festival, hike one of our many trails, or do some fall baking:  celebrating fall your way, is the best way!! Before you know it, we will be getting ready for winter.</p>
<h5><strong><span style="color: #523178;">Our 2021</span></strong></h5>
<p>You are probably wondering where we’ve been this last while.   I assure you, we have been hard at work, albeit less consistent with our Newsletter.</p>
<p>Like you, we have been adapting to the new world.  Our business has gone through successful moments and moments of challenge, working through our common struggle.  We have worked diligently off site, and now, as we slowly move back to the office, we continue to be safe, responsible, and adhering to Covid “smarts”.</p>
<p>We had hoped to have you all drop in during October for our annual Thanksgiving Open House, show you the new digs and to say thank you for your continued support. Unfortunately, this will not be happening this year. Until we are able to see you in person , we thought we&#8217;d share a few pics of our new office</p>

<p>What a year 2020 turned out to be. We started the year off great. And “normal”. Then by mid-March the whole world changed. Definitely a mark in history. We will all have our 2020 stories to tell when we get older. From school-aged kids who had to adapt to online learning, quickly becoming more independent and resilient. To the parents scrambling to learn how to manoeuvre within Google Classroom. To businesses who are still struggling to stay afloat. To those who have been unfortunate to not find any TP, anywhere.</p>
<ul>
<li>Everyone now has some sort of home-based technology, ready to go at a moment’s notice.</li>
<li>Masks are not just a necessity, but for some, an accessory and a way to make a fashion statement.</li>
<li>Deena Hinshaw is now a household name.</li>
</ul>
<h5><span style="color: #523178;"><strong>All we can say is wow.</strong></span></h5>
<p>It was a trying year. A year that seemed to be filled with OMG’s just a little more frequently than we are comfortable with. Here are some of the things that made headlines:</p>
<ul>
<li>Canada’s first ‘presumptive positive’ case of COVID – a Toronto man who recently travelled to Wuhan, China</li>
<li>Stock market crash. The <strong><span style="color: #523178;"><a style="color: #523178;" href="https://nextlevel.finance/2020-stock-market-crash/">Dow Jones</a></span></strong> suffered its worst single-day point drop ever on March 9.</li>
<li>Australian bushfires ravaged an area of 2,000 hectares</li>
<li>Prince Harry and Meghan Markle quit the Royal Family</li>
<li>‘<strong><span style="color: #523178;"><a style="color: #523178;" href="https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/murder-hornet-nest-washington-bc-200-queens-1.5798631" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Murder Hornets</a></span></strong>’ first spotted in the U.S., then parts of B.C.</li>

<span style="color: #333333; font-size: 16px;">THE QUARTERLY NEWSLETTER FROM THE VOGEL GROUP</span></span></h2>
<h5></h5>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5><span style="color: #523178;"><strong>We&#8217;re all in this together.</strong></span></h5>
<p>The elephant in the room – Coronavirus, COVID, COVID-19. No matter how this pandemic is referenced, it has impacted everyone worldwide. In times like this we must come together, encourage one another, empathize and extend a helping hand whenever we can.</p>
<p>With this “new normal”, for some of us, we have also extended our vocabulary. What’s a pandemic vs. epidemic? Asymptomatic vs. pre-symptomatic? The Government of Canada has created a terrific glossary on COVID-19 terms which can be found <span style="color: #523178;"><a style="color: #523178;" href="https://www.btb.termiumplus.gc.ca/publications/covid19-eng.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>here</strong></a></span>.</p>
<p><span style="color: #523178;"><em>As members of our City of Edmonton community, and as a small business, we would like to extend a thank you to everyone including our clients, business colleagues, friends and family. We truly are in this together.</em></span></p>
<h5><span style="color: #523178;"><strong>We are open for business and 100% functional.</strong></span></h5>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1142 alignleft" src="https://thevogelgroup.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Screen-Shot-2020-10-23-at-3.07.11-PM.png" alt="" width="169" height="112" />We continue to research, source and identify top level leadership throughout the country using electronic communication. Interviews, client meetings and all engagements are conducted via video conference. In-house engagements are completed hand-in-hand with extensive disinfecting protocol. Every member of the team has accessibility to work in-house or in their slippers.</p>
<h5><span style="color: #523178;"><strong>We&#8217;ve Expanded Our National Reach</strong></span></h5>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-1122 size-full" src="https://thevogelgroup.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/logo-NPA.png" alt="" width="141" height="141" /></p>

<h4><span style="color: #523178;"><strong>New Year Equals New Digs</strong></span></h4>
<p>We have moved to a wonderful space within the 103 Street Center (managed by Epic Investment Services). While only a block away from our former location, we’re now in the heart of Downtown Edmonton with access to the Pedway system through Enterprise Square. A great mix of amenities, we’re looking forward to the on-site gym, exclusive tenant lounge and social meeting space opening once all building upgrades and renovations are complete.</p>
<p><span style="color: #523178;"><em>We look forward to seeing our clients and visitors once we’re able to minimize social distancing measures. </em></span></p>
<h5><span style="color: #523178;"><strong>Combined 40<sup>+ </sup>Years&#8217; Recruitment Experience</strong></span></h5>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3><span style="color: #523178;"><strong>What a Difference</strong></span></h3>
<p>What a difference a calendar quarter makes. Back in early February when I wrote the Winter 2020 edition of Follow the Leader, our biggest worries included Edmonton’s winter weather and we let the world know a little bit about The Vogel Group’s involvement and commitment to our community.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #523178;"><strong>No April Fool&#8217;s Joke</strong></span></h3>
<p>How the world has changed. In this COVID-19 environment, The Vogel Group are all working remotely from home. Which is a little ironic as we took possession on April 1<sup>st</sup> (no April Fool’s joke here) of our brand-new office in 103 Street Centre. While the official move-in date is later this month, the space looks great and we are looking forward to personally welcoming you with a handshake or a hug as soon as it is safe to do so. Our emails and phone numbers remain unchanged and we will officially announce our new address following the move.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #523178;"><strong>Stay Disciplined&#8230; and Wash Your Hands!</strong></span></h3>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-1097 alignright" src="https://thevogelgroup.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/pic-wash-your-hands.png" alt="" width="159" height="223" />New office aside, we are in for a tough time, along with most Albertans. The economy is grinding to a halt, unemployment is going up and organizational uncertainty is at a level I have never seen in my 34 years in the workplace.</p>
<p>So what can we all do? Stay disciplined with the advice and guidance from our health leaders. Stay at home. Wash your hands regularly. Practise social distancing. Wash your hands regularly. Stay in touch with your family, friends and personal network. And wash your hands regularly.</p>
<p>We have been bombarded with how to wash our hands. For the science behind it, click <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/handwashing/show-me-the-science-handwashing.html">here</a>.</p>
<p>Thank the essential service workers you see at the gas station, grocery store, bank, delivering something to your door, hospital and operating our public transportation. They put themselves and their families at risk so we can function reasonably well. We can’t thank them too much.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #523178;"><strong>Stay Connected</strong></span></h3>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-1098 alignleft" src="https://thevogelgroup.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/pic-social-media-300x150.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="150" srcset="https://thevogelgroup.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/pic-social-media-300x150.jpg 300w, https://thevogelgroup.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/pic-social-media.jpg 318w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" />We don’t know when we will “get back to normal” or even what the normal will look like. But The Vogel Group will be here when that happens. At this time, we are reaching out to stay connected with all our clients, candidates, vendors and contacts. There is absolutely something therapeutic, comforting and cathartic in connecting over FaceTime, Zoom or Skype to say “hi”, to share a smile or to lift someone’s sprits who may be struggling.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #523178;"><strong>What Have We Been Up To?</strong></span></h3>
<p>This quarter we&#8217;ve completed following searches:</p>
<ul>
<li>Executive Director &amp; Registrar for Alberta College and Association of Opticians</li>
<li>Manager, Financial Planning and Budgets for Athabasca University</li>
<li>Operations Manager, Microtunneling for The Crossing Group</li>
<li>Vice President, Academic for Medicine Hat College</li>
</ul>
<p><strong style="color: #523178;">What Roles Should be on <em>Your</em> Radar?</strong></p>
<p>Currently we&#8217;re working on:</p>
<ul>
<li>Board of Directors for Capital Region Housing Corporation</li>
<li>Director, Retail Strategy &amp; Environmental Sustainability for Habitat for Humanity</li>
<li>Leadership Development Program for Beaver Municipal Solutions</li>
</ul>
<p>Know of anyone that may be interested in hearing more about these current searches?</p>
<p>Snapshots can be found at: <span style="color: #523178;"><a style="color: #523178;" href="https://thevogelgroup.ca/current-opportunities/"><strong>https://thevogelgroup.ca/current-opportunities/</strong></a></span>.</p>
<p>A number of our clients have understandably “hit the pause button” on current search projects, but we are in constant communication with them and hope these projects come back online soon.</p>
<p>Until our next newsletter in July, The Vogel Group wishes for you and your families to stay safe and healthy. It is being said over and over but we are truly in this together. And we WILL get through this together. We look forward to staying connected throughout this time and being able to “share some personal space” with you in the foreseeable future.</p>
<p><em>Until Next Time,</em><br />
<em>Rick, Julie, Rae Ann, Renee and Steven<br />
</em><strong><span style="color: #523178;">We&#8217;re Here for You! </span></strong><em><br />

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3><span style="color: #523178;"><strong><em>“What good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness”</em></strong><strong> – John Steinbeck</strong></span></h3>
<p>As we have continually expressed in this quarterly commentary, we love our City. Yes, it can get pretty cold as the middle of January rudely reminded us. There is no doubt that is has been very, very – VERY cold in Edmonton and in our province. All of us Edmontonians found no solace in the <span style="color: #523178;"><a style="color: #523178;" href="https://globalnews.ca/news/6410166/edmonton-weather-facts-extreme-cold-myths/">media educating us</a></span> all about the Frigid Arctic air that swept across Western Canada while comparing actual temperature to the “what it really feels like” temperature. Amidst winter’s fierce pounce, we continue to choose to live and truly be a part of our City.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #523178;"><strong>#MyYegWinter</strong></span></h3>
<p>Boasting our pride to the world, we are in fact a winter city. The City of Edmonton has been diligent in helping us reclaim and <span style="color: #523178;"><a style="color: #523178;" href="https://www.edmonton.ca/city_government/documents/WINTERExcitementGuide.pdf">embrace our winter season</a></span>. Edmonton stands out from the crowd and  somehow, we bundle up (maybe complain a bit), survive the cold snaps and get to enjoy and experience unique benefits this City has to offer.</p>
<p>Aside from cross-country skiing, skating, snowshoeing, tobogganing and fat-tire biking, we have professional sports teams, an amazing creative arts community (live theatre, opera, symphony, Art Gallery of Alberta), festivals (so many that we are also known as the <span style="color: #523178;"><a style="color: #523178;" href="https://www.todocanada.ca/festivals-in-edmonton/">Festival City</a></span>), our spectacular river valley and our wide range of educational institutions.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #523178;"><strong>#yegcommunity &#8211; Edmontonians Care</strong></span></h3>
<p>Our services to our clients include providing relocation support when needed. “Selling” Edmonton and the Greater Edmonton Area and attracting outstanding leaders is what we take pride in. What do we hear the most from new citizens? We hear about the people. We hear that Edmontonians are warm. We hear that Edmontonians are friendly. And we hear that we are welcoming and always open to lending out a helping hand wherever possible. This is probably why we have an international reputation for outstanding volunteerism for events or causes. Whether it’s the Commonwealth Games, the 2001 Universiade, Grey Cup, the many world-renowned festivals, ITU Grande Finale Triathlon, professional conferences or the largest community league federation in Canada &#8211; Edmontonians step up to help each other.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-1065 alignright" src="https://thevogelgroup.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/z-biseel-pic-300x261.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="261" srcset="https://thevogelgroup.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/z-biseel-pic-300x261.jpg 300w, https://thevogelgroup.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/z-biseel-pic-768x667.jpg 768w, https://thevogelgroup.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/z-biseel-pic.jpg 800w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" />This “care for each other” is evidenced every day by the incredible work done by so many organizations that exist to help people and make our community better – some of them our clients! The list of these organizations seem endless within our community. And we follow suit. The Vogel Group closed our office for half a day recently to volunteer at Bissell Centre. This <span style="color: #523178;"><a style="color: #523178;" href="https://bissellcentre.org/">110-year old pillar of our community</a> </span>works with communities to empower people to move from poverty to cultural, social and economic prosperity. Working with their dedicated staff and volunteers, we experienced first-hand, the great work they do.</p>
<p>The Vogel Group are involved in our community year round. Whether it’s the Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital Foundation, coaching kid’s hockey, volunteering for the annual ITU Triathlon or establishing our office as a drop off site for donations for Little Warriors, we believe in being part of this great City in more ways than just executing outstanding recruitment for our clients.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #523178;"><strong>We Continue to Grow</strong></span></h3>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-1063 alignleft" src="https://thevogelgroup.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/RH-2020-Our-Site-240x300.jpg" alt="Renee Henry - Our Leaders" width="143" height="179" srcset="https://thevogelgroup.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/RH-2020-Our-Site-240x300.jpg 240w, https://thevogelgroup.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/RH-2020-Our-Site-768x960.jpg 768w, https://thevogelgroup.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/RH-2020-Our-Site-819x1024.jpg 819w, https://thevogelgroup.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/RH-2020-Our-Site.jpg 1638w" sizes="(max-width: 143px) 100vw, 143px" />We are thrilled to have <strong><span style="color: #523178;"><a style="color: #523178;" href="https://thevogelgroup.ca/our-leaders/">Renee Henry</a></span></strong> join our team as Principal. With 3 recruitment designations and over 11 years of experience recruiting senior executives across Canada and the United States, Renee brings tremendous value and expertise to all of our clients.</p>
<p>A professional recruiter, Renee has executed searches for positions across Canada and the U.S. within various industries including oil and gas, power generation, construction,  manufacturing and fabrication, engineering, health and safety, supply chain, technology, accounting and finance, human resources and for legal counsels.</p>

<p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #b1b3b6;">THE QUARTERLY NEWSLETTER FROM THE VOGEL GROUP &#8211; FALL EDITION</span></span></p>
<h3><span style="color: #523178;">Personal Yet Relevant to Business</span></h3>
<p><span style="color: #523178;"><em>Welcome to our Fall 2019 issue of Follow the Leader. While I will get to business in a minute, this edition is going to be a little more personal, albeit very relevant to business…</em></span></p>
<p>On Tuesday, October 1<sup>st </sup>I suffered a subarachnoid hemorrhage. It was immediate. It was quick. And it was scary. I am now very familiar with <a href="https://www.healthline.com/health/subarachnoid-hemorrhage"><span style="color: #523178;">SAH</span></a>, a type of stroke referring to bleeding within the subarachnoid space – the area between the brain and the tissues that cover the brain.</p>
<p>It’s been a roller coaster of a month… ups, downs and uncertainty. Thankfully, aside from aching to get back to physical activity, I have no impairments and am looking at a 100% recovery. I am beyond lucky.</p>
<p>Aside from the obvious personal perspective taken from this unexpected interruption in my life, during this month of October I have also had the opportunity to reflect and have learned something new about business. We have all felt the pressures and sheer exhaustion as an employee, as a business owner, or as a member of senior leadership at some point. Keeping your employees happy, and your clients happier. Making those deadlines and beating the clock. Keeping commitments. Exceeding last year’s bottom line.</p>
<p>This month, though, I learned something new. There is no real urgency in business. The real urgency should be in what’s truly important to you.</p>
<p>When I was first told they thought I had an aneurysm, urgency took on a whole new definition. This was an emergency and I was immediately transported to another hospital. I had to have a conversation with my wife and one of my sons (the other was on his way from Vancouver) as if it was the last time I would speak to them. What was truly important to me became my urgency.</p>
<p>As I said, I am looking at a complete recovery and am extremely lucky. But I learned that nothing in business is as urgent as telling the people most important in your life that you love them and you are proud of them. That report promised to your client on Friday can go out on Saturday, or even Monday morning if need be. Responding to all those emails within a day, could be completed within a day or two. Whether an employee, a business owner or a member of senior leadership, business would still continue. There isn’t really an urgency in business.</p>
<p>What is far more urgent is that the people most important in your life know what you mean to them. Tell them you love them. Tell them you are proud of them. You may not have Saturday or Monday morning to do that. Do it every day. <span style="color: #523178;"><strong>Make it urgent.</strong></span></p>
<h3><span style="color: #523178;">A Time to Give Thanks</span></h3>
<p>I would be remiss in not recognizing my team since my reduced capacity in the office. There has been nary a beat missed since my incident &#8211; so a huge thank you and kudos to the team for pulling together &#8211; Julie, Steve and Rae Ann.</p>
<p><em>&#8211; Rick</em></p>
<h3><span style="color: #523178;">Kudos!</span></h3>
<p>Every year, aside from celebrating Thanksgiving with friends, family and loved ones, The Vogel Group takes time to say thank you to our clients. Our annual Thanksgiving Open House was held in our office complete with nibbles, wine and great company. Thank you to our clients:</p>

<p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #b1b3b6;">THE QUARTERLY NEWSLETTER FROM THE VOGEL GROUP &#8211; SUMMER EDITION</span></span></p>
<h3><strong style="color: #523178;">The Results are In</strong></h3>
<p>In our previous newsletter, we mentioned the lingering uncertainty regarding the 2019 Alberta Provincial election. Did you know <span style="color: #523178;"><a style="color: #523178;" href="https://globalnews.ca/news/5155289/alberta-election-advance-polls-record-broken/">we set the record</a></span> at this election? A record number of electors chose to vote in advance polls – 36.7%, in fact – the highest seen in any Canadian federal, provincial or territorial election.</p>
<p>While the results are in, there are still lingering questions and concerns that will take time to work through:</p>
<ul>
<li>Will our new Premier have any more success in getting our resources to new markets?</li>
<li>How will the two major cities in Alberta – Edmonton and Calgary – who voted in opposite directions, work together to advance all our causes and needs?</li>
<li>How will the overall Alberta frustration with the Federal Government play into all this, especially with the upcoming Fall election?</li>
<li>Will the Oilers make the playoffs this year? (We told you some questions are still lingering.)</li>
</ul>
<h3><span style="color: #523178;">A City on the Brink of Reinvention &#8211; Edmonton Economic Development</span></h3>
<p>It can be easy to get distracted by these questions but we here at The Vogel Group prefer to work with the things we know:</p>
<ul>
<li>Edmonton is a great city to live, work and play. In fact, the <span style="color: #523178;"><a style="color: #523178;" href="https://www.youthfulcities.com/urban-work-index" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Urban Work Index</a></span> (put together by RBC Future launch and YouthfulCities) recently ranked our city as number 1 in Canada for youth to work in.</li>
<li>Our city is in the midst of a <span style="color: #523178;"><a style="color: #523178;" href="http://www.eedc.ca/community-activation-vibrancy/">$5 billion transformation</a></span> of active development and investment in downtown.</li>
<li>There is no better place in the country to be than The Festival City during the summer. The <a href="https://www.todocanada.ca/festivals-in-edmonton/"><span style="color: #523178;">endless festivals and events</span></a> throughout this season brings an energy in the air, and we have long days to enjoy them…. we may just need an umbrella on hand.</li>
</ul>
<h3><span style="color: #523178;">Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital Foundation Celebrates 25 Years!</span></h3>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-879" src="https://thevogelgroup.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/logo-grhf-150x150.jpg" alt="Glenrose 25 years" width="150" height="150" />As the Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital Foundation (<span style="color: #523178;"><a style="color: #523178;" href="https://glenrosefoundation.com/pg1.asp?siteID=1&amp;PIT=home">GRHF</a></span>) celebrated 25 years recently, they are excited to begin sharing stories of those who have been instrumental in leading the Foundation to where it is today.
