    FINANCIAL STAKES Manica Gautam moved to Vancouver to launch a venture capital fund. Now she helps run the Houssian family's investment firm B.C.’S MOST INFLUENTIALmoney WOMEN on the To mark our fifth annual tribute to female leaders making a difference, we celebrate women in finance or Kai Li, a finance professor atUBC Sauder School of Business, it’s become a familiar sight. In a typical year, about 50 percent of the school’s commerce undergraduates are female. But as third- year specialization approaches, relatively few women choose finance. Li, who teaches a course that readies students for Fthe investment banking industry, thinks there’s both a supply and a demand problem. “People who I invite as guest speakers, there are very few female role models, unfortunately,” she says. At the same time, investment banking’s long hours may not appeal to women seeking work-life balance. Despite such challenges, this province is home to a remarkable group of women working in financial roles. For our fifth annual B.C.’s Most Influential Women fea- ture, we again sought the advice of an expert panel (see p.47)—three of whose five members are women mak- ing their mark in finance—to identify names worthy of recognition. We defined finance broadly, to encompass every- one from CFOs and entrepreneurs to bank executives and money managers. As usual, our list is representa- tive, not exhaustive or definitive.

Although many have speculated on the possible interaction between sustainable lifestyle practices and the well-being, or satisfaction, of practitioners, there has been limited empirical study of this connection. The purpose of this study was to explore how people experience satisfaction and frustration in conjunction with the practice of a sustainable lifestyle. Semi-structured interviews were completed with six sustainable lifestyle practitioners associated with Transition Victoria, a community resilience initiative in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. Interview transcripts were synthesized into explanatory narratives highlighting experienced outcomes of a sustainable lifestyle practice. A further thematic analysis was completed to identify themes to which participants attributed meaning and potential satisfaction.
