Women of Inspiration
Women of Inspiration to me is someone who is not afraid to be who they are, and to be able to go out and show that to people, and also just stand up for what they believe in and what’s important to them.
Nicole Sgarbossa, Communications Coordinator of Homefront Calgary
The WOI event was a real class act - from the nominees, to the organizers and the venue itself! It was great to be a part of such a truly inspiring evening. I was especially impressed by the diversity of the winners and equally pleased to see numerous men in attendance to support their peers.
Mike Giannoumis - Senior Vice President Technology Operations, Paysafe Group
I am truly honored to have been chosen for the SupportHER Award at this year’s Women of Inspiration Gala. Being a member of the Canadian Business Chicks organization has been a wonderful experience. Unlike most members, I’m based out of Montreal, so having the opportunity to represent the team in a different province has been unique and rewarding. I am thrilled to be part of this network and look forward to continuing to be a passionate advocate about the change needed in the workplace with regards to diversity and inclusion.
