The Heliconia Press would like to announce their expansion with the hiring of their new Marketing Coordinator, Amy Luscombe. The position was created in order to further foster recent rapid growth and to better develop communications with media, customers, and partners.

Amy's position will:

• Facilitate more elaborate and focused product launches
• Help build relationships with leading manufacturers in the outdoor industry. The numerous book and DVD projects Heliconia undertakes each year afford a fantastic opportunity to showcase leading brands.
• Allow for further diversification of products

An honours graduate from the accelerated Outdoor Adventure Naturalist Program, Amy was Algonquin College's 2006 Award of Excellence recipient for leadership in the community and overall academic standing, The Wilderness Tours Skills Award recipient for achievement in outdoor skills based courses and the Outdoor Adventure Naturalist Academic Award for outstanding academic achievement. "I am extremely thankful for the opportunity to work in the outdoor industry among 3 World Champion Kayakers in a position that allows me to be creative", says Amy. "Another perk is being surrounded by such talented paddlers and Heliconia's lending library of fantastic instructional books and DVD's - now my paddling has to improve!"
