Teresa is the former President of the Victoria Multicultural Society and was responsible for successfully navigating the societyâs application for a primary liquor license through separate local and provincial government processes. Teresa built a grassroots network of support amongst local business owners, residents, law enforcement officials and inspection agencies to gain municipal and provincial government approval. As a result, this was the first primary liquor license approved by the Victoria City Council in over fifteen years.
Leveraging her vast government experience, Teresa started her own business, Sullivan and Associates in 2008 and has been providing government relations consulting services to her corporate, not-for-profit and individual clients. Teresa has her Masters in Business Administration with a specialty in Executive Leadership from Royal Roads University.
Teresa does pro-bono work for families with children and young adults who have developmental disabilities requiring advocacy to maintain and increase funding from Provincial Government agencies.
Teresa works with the private sector, the public sector, and local governments to help promote and encourage economic investment through responsible, sustainable green development and works with land developers seeking to bring new jobs to local communities to achieve greater economic self-sufficiency.
Teresa believes it is critically important to preserve our natural heritage while balancing the needs of affordable housing and working with neighbouring municipalities to develop an efficient public transportation system. She believes developing open mutually beneficial strategies can do this.
Teresa believes in open government and streamlining processes that affect business owners and developers who find themselves ensnared in red tape.".
