Professional Background - Faye Topping: Upon leaving the University of Saskatchewan, majoring in psychology, Faye launched her entrepreneurial career with tremendous sustained success with a leading-edge network-marketing organization where she traveled throughout North America and overseas. With over four years in sales and presenting hundreds of self-designed personal development seminars dedicated to business success in the 90s, Faye changed focus and moved into the position of Territorial Manager of Sales for State Chemical Products, Inc. based out of Cleveland, Ohio. Her keen love of aviation developed later when she was hired as the Air Show Coordinator, Operations Manager and Sales Executive for Larry Wiesner Aerobatics based out of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Three years in this fast-paced extreme aviation market brought Faye to Aviation Performance Solutions as an Air Show Team Announcer, Event Coordinator and International Account Manager. Faye was a critical member of the corporate development team that transplanted the original Canadian entity to the United States in 2001. Faye was instrumental in the dramatic growth, development and total redesign of the spectrum of business services offered by APS supporting clients from around the world.
