Bridging the Diversity Gap | November 9, 2022

The Empire Club of Canada Presents: Bridging the Diversity Gap Despite being one of the most diverse regions in the world, leadership tables across the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) lack racial diversity. Join us for a conversation where our panel of established leaders will share their own leadership journeys and offer perspective on how to deepen inclusion for Indigenous, Black, and racialized leaders. You'll also have the chance to learn about CivicAction's new initiative — BoardShift — that addresses this lack of representation by preparing and matching rising racialized leaders with non-profit, charitable, and public board opportunities. Moderator: Sal Rabbani, President, Board of Directors, Empire Club of Canada Speakers:  The Honourable Ratna Omidvar, Senator for Ontario, The Senate of Canada  Yulena Wan, Director, Finance & Operations, Hamilton Community Foundation Leslie Woo, CEO, CivicAction Daniele Zanotti, President & CEO, United Way Toronto & York Region *The content presented is free of charge but please note that the Empire Club of Canada retains copyright.
