Women Who Lead: Celebrating Our Progress Toward Gender Parity on Boards and Charting the Path Forward

The Empire Club of Canada’s annual Women Who Lead International Women's Day event will be a celebration of significant milestones reached in our work towards achieving equal representation of women on corporate boards. According to Osler's annual Diversity Disclosure Practice report (2022), women now occupy one-quarter of board seats across TSX-listed corporations and for the first time in the report's history, S&P/TSX Composite Index companies have no all-male boards.

As we celebrate and recognize the halfway point to gender parity on boards, join our panel discussion with those who are leading the way, sitting on boards with 50% or more women. Hear their insights and thoughts on how we made it this far, progress yet to be made on board diversity and the future of women’s representation on boards.
