Ontario Region Women’s Network Thanks Past Chair, and Announces New Leadership

EFC would like to thank Lori Bagazzoli, LEDVANCE Ltd., for her commitment to the Ontario Region Women’s Network as Chair for the last two years. Lori has been in the electrical industry for over 20 years and has been an active member of EFC, sitting on several committees including the EFC Federation Cup Golf Committee and the Ontario Region Young Professionals Network (YPN). As Chair, Lori launched the EFC Women’s Network Purse Project, which allowed EFC and its member companies to donate over 200 purses to women’s shelters and related charities within the Halton region.

On behalf of EFC and the Ontario Region Women’s Network, we thank you Lori, for your outstanding contributions and dedication to the Women’s Network. Lori will remain as Past Chair until 2026.

EFC is proud to congratulate Sandra Tomassi, Ouellet, for her new position as Ontario Region Women’s Network Chair. Sandra has over 20 years of sales and marketing experience within the electrical industry and has spent the last 11 years at Ouellet Canada as a Territory Manager in Ontario. Sandra has been actively involved with the Women’s Network for the last few years and acted as Vice-Chair from 2022-2024.

Rita Sleiman, Legrand Canada, has been appointed Vice-Chair for the Ontario Region Women’s Network. Rita works in Technical Sales at Legrand Canada and is very interested in joining the Ontario Region Women’s Network Executive Team.

Sandra and Rita will be working closely with Nathalie Lajoie, Ontario Region Women’s Network Team Lead, along with the Ontario Region Committee over the next 2 years in their respective roles. We look forward to their leadership on the Ontario Region Women’s Network.
