Being a member of WGOB has been very helpful in advancing my corporate director career. WGOB events are very inclusive and members are truly open in sharing their experiences and network. The willingness to help each other is remarkable. WGOB allowed me to develop a network of valuable governance contacts in Ontario and introduced me to the existence of the CBDC Diversity 50 initiative. I applied to the 2015 edition and was selected, allowing to broaden my network at the Canadian level. I also developed my social media presence with the help of WGOB and it is making an impact to have my governance expertise recogniszed. WGOB is a unique in allowing individuals that are aspiring to a corporate career to map the steps they should take to acquire relevant skill sets and network to help them gradually achieve their objectives.

February 8, 2017 Event, Toronto:

I had the opportunity to attend an event held in Toronto regarding the public board appointment process in February. The panel discussion was informative and insightful. Speakers were open to sharing their experience and providing advice on the key challenges that women are facing in getting on board. I also enjoyed meeting executives and corporate directors who share the same aspirations. Overall it was a remarkable experience.
