In 2008 Kate was identified to hanspetermeyer as one of the "go to" people in the Vancouver region with regard to what Joel Solomon of Renewal Partners has called "conscious capital." Kate suggested that SVI was the centre of this conversation in our region.

Shortly after the September 2009 SVI hanspetermeyer interviewed Kate and asked her why SVI is so important in the "conscious capital" conversation, and about her experiences there.
