Joanne Robertson, board member, CANASA B.C. Council; member, CANASA National Working Committee; director of sales, West, Inaxsys Security Systems
Joanne Robertson is in her 10th year with Inaxsys Security Systems as the director of sales, West. Prior to that, she was the sales manager for a security integrator in the Lower Mainland. When Joanne joined this company in 2007, she had no experience in the security industry. To become a success in this field meant drawing from her 20 years of sales, management, and business ownership experience.

At present, Joanne serves both on the Regional B.C. CANASA Board as well as the National Working Committee. On the Regional Board, Joanne is volunteering her time to assist in the coordination of the annual CANASA Golf tournament and is also working with the B.C. President in organizing the Annual B.C. Wine Tours both on Vancouver Island and Kelowna.

Being a woman in this industry has been extremely rewarding and she is loving seeing more and more women not only moving into the many roles offered but being successful at them.
