Hello

I'm a visionary leader and change agent with two decades of executive leadership in nonprofit and association management. I've navigated organizations through crisis, strategic planning and built high-performing teams with minimal resources. I've built my reputation on being an innovative problem solver, while building strong collaboration across community leaders and all levels of government. With over 23+ years developing comprehensive communications strategies including crisis management, brand development and digital marketing, I'm adept at all forms of communications. I also have demonstrated success securing over $700,000 in grants and funding, as well as economic development, and specialized in business improvement area (BIA) management with proven ability to deliver complex, multi-stakeholder projects. In addition, I'm also an expert spokesperson and public speaker having delivered hundreds of media interviews and public speaking engagements.

​

Specialties

I possess specialized knowledge in Business Improvement Areas (BIA) and main streets, with over 12 years of experience in the industry.
I am also skilled in equity, diversity, inclusion. I have been a proactive advocate for gender equity in governance, policy, and board recruitment. I currently serve as Co-Chair of the Policy Committee for the City of Edmonton's Women's Advisory Voice of Edmonton (WAVE).

Michelle Childs, Owner of Velo-West Bike School

"We couldn’t have submitted our first grant proposal without Cherie Tellier-Klassen.

Cherie brought an incredible depth of knowledge around city grants and guided us through the process with clarity, focus, and confidence. She helped us shape our direction, refine our offerings, and clearly articulate our impact in a way that felt both strategic and authentic to Velo West Bike School. What could have been overwhelming became structured and achievable thanks to her professionalism and calm, practical approach.

Cherie is highly knowledgeable, thoughtful, and a true pleasure to work with. We highly recommend her to any organization looking for expert guidance and support — she was instrumental in helping us take this important first step."
