Activity open to IWF members and their guests


Come discuss governance!


Dear IWF sisters,


We are pleased to invite you to attend the inaugural Board Ready Women event in Montreal on Wednesday, April 17, from 4:30 p.m. to 7 p.m., at the McCarthy Tétrault downtown Montreal office. Come hear a superb panel of governance experts and exchange with other board members during the cocktail reception that follows.


During this tripartite event collaboration, we will highlight the corporate directorship talents of several of our IWF members. We aspire to encourage more leaders to participate in governance efforts aimed at increasing board diversification. This session will also highlight how an organization like Board Ready Women can help place more women on boards.


We are delighted to invite you to come listen to our IWF Montreal panelists: Françoise Bertrand, Candice Maxis and Melissa Sonberg who will talk about their governance journey and share their learnings and wise advice! The panel will be moderated by Mary Larson in collaboration with Heather Culbert and Jennifer Koury.


After the formal program, stay to enjoy the cocktail reception and an expanded networking session. We look forward to seeing you in large numbers at what is sure to be an exciting event, full of insight and inspiration.


It is also possible for you to come accompanied by a guest, protégée and/or male ally. For their registration, please forward their contact details to iwfcmontreal@iwfcanada.com for confirmation.
