I have had the pleasure to work with Kyla over the past few years in a leadership position in the natural products industry in Boulder, and I highly recommend her.

From my experience working with Kyla, she is a natural leader and an action-oriented individual. In our work together on the board of the Naturally Boulder Task Force, she has demonstrated great initiative, reliability and leadership in accomplishing the goals of the task force.

The Naturally Boulder Task Force is an economic development initiative established by the City of Boulder to promote the growth of natural, organic and sustainable products businesses in the region, mentor small businesses, attract natural businesses to the area, and promote Boulder as “the Silicon Valley” of the natural and organic products industry.

In her work on the board, Kyla has organized monthly networking events that have been very well attended and organized, bringing business leaders together on a regular basis. She has also been an essential part of the team organizing and producing a large-scale business conference for entrepreneurs, Naturally Boulder Day, scheduled for Oct. 20, 2006, and drawing more than 300 business members from the region and throughout the country. As producer of this event, I have been able to rely on Kyla to accomplish important tasks related to the event.

Additionally, as a young entrepreneur, Kyla has successfully launched, and subsequently sold at a profit, an organic food business serving the needs of gluten-intolerant individuals with her line of wheat-free cookies and snacks. She has actively sought the advice of key individuals in the natural products market, and as she continues to work with the company she founded, she continues to grow sales and open new channels of distribution for her products.

In conclusion, I highly recommend Kyla. As a business leader for more than 20 years in the natural products market, I am confident that Kyla is one of the next generation of business leaders. You can learn more about my work by visiting www.compassnaturalmarketiing.com.
