We are pleased to announce that the Canada Sister Society successfully launched in May at our CCUA National Conference in Calgary. Our launch event featured speeches from Jay-Ann Gilfoy, President & CEO of Meridian Credit Union, Eleni Giakoumopoulos, GWLN Director, and Sandra McDowell, CEO of eLeadership Academy. You can the find the presentation from this session here as well as the GWLN video that was shown at the conference online here. Images from the launch event at the conference are also available to view here. Please use the password Transform2024 to access the conference images.

We're also excited to share that 69 volunteers have already joined this group, and we will be adding you to a Teams Channel where you can network with others before our first meeting.

The network’s first virtual meeting will be held on Tuesday, September 24. This meeting will be a great opportunity to learn and network with leaders doing amazing work to support women in the workplace. Our last meeting for the year will be on Wednesday, December 4. Calendar invites for all the meetings for the year will be circulated to members shortly.

Please help us spread the word about the Canada Sister Society. As a reminder that both the Canada Sister Society and the Global Women Leadership Network (GWLN) are open to everyone.
