Women’s Equality Day

Women’s Equality Day is August 26!

Let us not forget how far we have come, and how far we still have left to go. We all have our own stories, and now is the time to share those stories of women doing remarkable things in our flourishing business community. It’s time to celebrate all the women in our lives, celebrate the trailblazers who came before us, and the women with us today who are breaking barriers and blazing new paths.

How do you celebrate Women’s Equality Day? Some ideas:

1. Send a note of gratitude to the women who have mentored, helped, or supported your own journey.
2. Send flowers to your mom, sister, or best friend.
3. Take the day to practice self-care. Treat yourself!
4. Meditate on how far you've come and where you want to be. Put some positive energy into the universe - if women before you accomplished so much imagine what you can do.
5. If you aren't already a member sign-up for Canadian Business Chicks. Did you know every membership supports women in a variety of ways? All membership levels carry the same four pillars through connecting, learning, empowering, and celebrating. Each pillar outlines unique opportunities through organizational values courage, confidence commitment and integrity.
6. Issue a challenge to your male counterparts to become a Canadian Business Chick and sign-up to be a SupportHER member.

From chick-to-chick support through our various membership levels to men supporting women through the SupportHER membership, we can all work together now, and in the future. It’s important and imperative to recognize the needs of women in the workplace and essential to offer a platform and space for mentorship, connection, networking, collaboration, and celebration.

Thank you to each one of you that has spent time lifting me up and supporting my journey – I will be celebrating each one of you this coming week! We are moving mountains together.
