On the heels of last month’s release of “Closing the Gender Gap”, our report defining the scope of the problem and how to take action, the launch of online community WCT Connect marks the next phase of our commitment to achieving gender equality in communications, media and technology.
On November 17, I attended the WE FOR SHE Forum in Vancouver together with WCT BC Co-Chair Briana Sim. It was an exhilarating, and exhausting event, but now that I have had some time to digest my impressions, I would like to share a few highlights.

On Thursday May 25th, the WCT Quebec Chapter was lucky enough to host a conference featuring the renowned Dr. Lois Frankel, author of the bestselling book “Nice girls don’t get the corner office”.
The event was held at the Sheraton hotel in downtown Montreal where we hosted 150 distinguished participants. Dr. Frankel was kind enough to join us early on in the evening to mingle with our guests and discuss her book as well as share her vast experience.
On April 12, 2017 the Quebec WCT Chapter hosted a workshop entitled “In Search of Executive Presence”, which was followed by a networking cocktail for participants in the offices of Blakes. The workshop was run by Shann McGrail, a former director at Microsoft and a founder of Devreve, Inc., a solution provider for companies in the technology industry focused on developing and implementing strategic programs and solutions that drive business results. Shann is equally invested in furthering the advancement of women in communications, media, and technology and coaching for potential.
