This event is a six-day, 250km foot race, which Time Magazine ranks as the second toughest endurance competition in the world. Mr. Danis, who was the first in his age group and first Canadian to cross the Gobi finish line, finishing 14th overall, exceeded his goal by $16,000, in raising more than $41,000. He increased his overall fundraising target to $65,000 to raise a minimum of $25,000 through a second race, this time in the Atacama Desert in Chile from March 7-11, 2010. Mr. Danis and two teammates completed the race in first place. Stefan was presented with The Paul Mulvihill/NABS Humanitarian Award at the 26th annual NABS Gala fundraiser on May 11 in Toronto. The Paul Mulvihill/NABS Humanitarian Award is presented annually, to honour those from the communication industry that have volunteered to better the lives of others through outstanding contribution to NABS in their career.

| Welcome to InterViews Online!
InterViews Online is a service, provided by Mandrake, to assist you and your organization in developing strategies for attracting and retaining talent. At the apex of the 'War for Talent', we attended the first-ever Conference for Talent Officers in Austin TX. The need for and the challenge of Talent Strategies was debated as C-level executives, responsible for talent management, were grasping with the insanity surrounding talent acquisition and retention. Remember those days? As the markets took a nasty turn, with tech, e-, telecom, consulting, and marcom sectors leading the downward dip, most organizations capitalized on the slowdown by reverting to their old talent management philosophy. Sound familiar? Now the economy is improving, consumer confidence is rising, interest rates are low, and very soon, many organizations may find themselves back in a raging war for talent. What has been learned? A recent study conducted by E & Y ranked Talent Acquisition and Retention as the second most important priority for CEO's today, behind product bundling and services. We predict Talent will be #1 within 18 months. Are you taking steps to become the employer of choice? With Mandrake's expanded service offering, we would be happy to advise you on any of the above issues.
