EFC Celebrates International Women’s Day

Tuesday, March 8, 2022 | 2:00 PM – 3:30 PM EST | Zoom Meeting 

Celebrate women’s achievements. Raise awareness against bias. Take action for equality.

Sponsored by AD Canada, Ledvance, Leviton Canada, Ouellet, and Rockwell Automation.

Creating a level-playing field that supports a gender-equal world requires a tiered approach: industry, organizational and individual actions.

Join EFC on March 8 at 2:00 pm EST as we celebrate International Women’s Day (IWD), featuring interactive trivia, inspiring videos, and a panel of industry members who will discuss how we can collectively – and individually – take part in a movement to #BreakTheBias, the theme of this year’s IWD movement.

This virtual event is brought to you by EFC’s Women’s Network and celebrates the achievements and resiliency we have cultivated throughout the year. You’ll also gain insights on the ‘50/30 Challenge’, an initiative by the Government of Canada which involves public and private sector participation.

Register Today – Registration is open to all EFC members and is complimentary.

The Panelists include:

Catherine McKeown, Hammond Power Solutions
Krystyna LeBlanc, Eddy Group
Salma Siddiqui, Stanpro
Vanessa Ricard, Agence Ricard
Rob Dewar, AD Canada

BreakTheBias relationships 150x1502x

 

Imagine a world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination.

A world that’s diverse, equitable, and inclusive.

A world where difference is valued and celebrated.

Collectively, we can all #BreakTheBias.
