Women's engagement at the leadership level of organizations is imperative to Canada's competitiveness.

We are at the tipping point, and we can't slow down now!
We all know that providing women with equal access to opportunity is simply the smart thing to do. I applaud The Rosenzweig Report for consistently bringing this issue to our attention.

Diversity is about more than simply hiring more women and more people of colour. It’s about paying, promoting equally and giving voice to intersectionality. It’s also about dismantling systemic racism in company policies, performance review processes and hiring panels. We have to normalize diversity in leading and managing from a multicultural lens. I’m proud to see Jay Rosenzweig encouraging diversity in Corporate Canada and elsewhere – and for doing it for the better part of two decades.

Culture can’t evolve in silos and we cannot change the narrative and dismantle the patriarchy without the support of everyone in the position to make important decisions about how they engage and interact with the gaming community.

Looking forward to working with Jay and the incredible community he has built to continue to create an even bigger impact together for the future.
The Rosenzweig Report does an excellent job highlighting progress being made, and yet much more needs to be done. Telling stories of successful women and the organizations that empower them not only inspires the next generation, but it also reminds companies and boards what it looks like when gender diversity is prioritized.
