The Power Lunch Speaker Series
YWCA Edmonton proudly launched The Power Lunch Speaker Series in 2020. These powerful conversations spotlighting influential Canadian women have been both inspiring and empowering for all those in attendance. These sessions are an opportunity for us all to learn from the perspectives and experiences of others as we work towards developing a greater understanding of social issues in our community today.

Thursday, March 10 | noon - 1:00pm
In an effort to increase much-needed gender equality on boards, YWCA Edmonton and DirectHer Network have teamed up on a unique 12-month pilot project aimed at blazing more pathways for women and gender diverse people wanting to serve at decision-making tables.
In this conversation, we will be joined by Chantel Cabaj, Founder and Executive Director of DirectHer Network, Cody Slater, CEO of Blackline Safety and Annie Korver, Principal of Rise Consulting to talk about tactical ways organizations can advance meaningful gender representation, particularly among racialized and Indigenous women. This conversation is for anyone wanting to change the face of boards in our country.
