You Deserve It! was founded in 2004 by three ladies wanting to make a difference in the East End of Ottawa - Janet Gray, Merredith MacLennan and Francine Rodrigue.
Based on a similar event that Janet had been attending for several years, she thought “why can’t we do this in the east end of Ottawa?” and the wheels started turning. Janet took the idea to a group of women in Orleans and received a positive response right away. Francine and Merredith immediately stepped forward and joined Janet in this wonderful project. Each with their own talents and passions, and with the support of many volunteers, facilitators, sponsors, community members, and their families, they created this annual special day for women, which has been since the inception, a wonderful accomplishment and tremendous success year after year.
In 2008, Francine took over the project under the umbrella of her company. As a passionate relationship builder, she continued making a positive difference and adding value to people's lives through this event. After taking part of You Deserve It! as a volunteer for a few years and wanting to fulfill one of her long time dreams, Rachel Leduc, from Beauté Venustas Beauty, assumed leadership of the conference in 2010. With the original vision of the three co-founders in mind (making a difference and inspiring women) and the valuable contribution from the many volunteers, Rachel and her team continue to deliver this wonderful day for women… just for you.
You Deserve It! is a great opportunity to showcase women, their passions, businesses and hobbies to other women. It also allows women a day to enhance their inner and outer selves at a reasonable price while enjoying a day for themselves. We hope to see you at the Next You Deserve It! event.
Just because…
You deserve it!
