CONSTRUIRE UNE COMMUNAUTÉ DE LEADERSHIP

Fondée en 2001, la Women In Leadership Foundation (WIL) propose des programmes inspirants qui rassemblent les femmes pour collaborer au développement de leurs compétences en leadership et crée un changement positif dans l'avenir du leadership féminin.

​

​ La Women in Leadership Foundation reconnaît que les opérations de notre siège social sont situées sur le territoire traditionnel et non cédé du peuple Okanagan Syilx. Nous reconnaissons, honorons et respectons la présence de tous les peuples autochtones, passés, présents et futurs.

MAYA KANIGAN

Founder & President of WIL

“I started Women in Leadership because, as an emerging young leader starting out in my career, I was searching for my life purpose and it was important for me to do work that I loved. After graduating from my commerce program at university, I found myself looking for women role models and women leaders in the business world. The landscape for women leaders in business was not what I had expected and I wondered why there were so few women in leadership positions and few ways for us to connect. Filling this void became my passion. I saw how important mentors were to me with my own career, helping me build faith in myself and overcome obstacles.  And I saw how they could help others carving their own path while joining together would create a sense of community and belonging in the business world. 

 

As women, there is tremendous power in joining together. Not only do we benefit from shared experiences, but together we can have a massive impact on our children, our families, our workplaces, our economy, and our planet. I want to see more women in leadership because it would make the world a better place: with a more peaceful, progressive and sustainable approach to business, community, and beyond.”
