During these years, Nancy assisted the national headquarters of the party by spearheading the development of a national corporate fundraising division and overseeing the candidate recruitment process in southern Alberta. Prior to the election in 1993, Nancy was brought on to manage the election campaign for the candidate in the riding of Calgary SE. After running a successful campaign, Nancy stayed on with the new MP until 1995, at which time she shifted her focus back to the non-political arena.
