Bill Smullen – Syracuse University Professor and former Chief of Staff to former U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell
Building a Brand from the Ground Up Forming a vision and igniting support around it to build a brand that ignites a national response – A case study on America’s Promise
Chairing a summit that brought national leaders from every sector together to focus on harnessing the power of youth citizenship was the easy part for General Colin L. Powell. Bringing life to the outgrowth organization, America’s Promise, was the tough part. As Colin Powell’s Chief of Staff, Colonel Smullen was charged with the task of helping hte General energize and rebrand a nation.
Hosted by the Canadian Public Relation’s Society Calgary Chapter, Professor Smullen will lead a discussion on ‘Building a Brand from the Ground Up’ drawing on his experience working with General Powell to build a culture around the initiative while raising an army of committed volunteers dedicated to investing critical resources into the lives of at-risk youth.
With his tremendous experience in extremely high-profile and high-stakes issues management, Professor Smullen will reflect on the importance of having a vision and how a strong, articulated sense of common direction can form shared conscious and ignite a brand. In this case, a brand that helped shape the future of America.

Calibre Environmental Ltd. was incorporated in the fall of 2003 as a sister company to Calibre Coatings Ltd., a commercial and residential painting company who has been in business since 1986. Subsequently Calibre Environmental purchased the assets of a small paint recycling company and initially recycled industrial and commercial paints in small amounts, creating white, beige and grey ecocoat, which was tested and marketed as an industrial primer. In September 2004, Calibre obtained the contract to process City of Calgary post-consumer paint and began searching for a better way to recycle latex paints. In November 2004, Calibre Environmental established a relationship with an American organization that had been recycling latex paint since 1992. Calibre Environmental was able to adopt their methods and practices, and in the spring of 2005 launched to the retail market with 14 consistent colours of premium quality, 100% recycled latex paint.
In June of 2006, Calibre Environmental was a proud recipient of an Alberta Emerald Award for environmental excellence. These awards celebrate and showcase the outstanding achievements of Albertans committed to protecting, preserving, enhancing and sustaining our environment. Since then, the company continues to grow and is an excellent local example of running a profitable business in a sustainable way! Join us on March 3rd to hear from Calibre Environmental and others on some practical ideas and solutions for your own organizations!
