These annual awards are presented in honour of the late Wendy McDonald, a Canadian business icon who served as the first female Chair of the Greater Vancouver Board of Trade. The awards serve to increase the profile of outstanding women and champions of women in our community.
Stay tuned for a reinvention
In order to reflect the evolution from the Women’s Leadership Council to the Diversity and Inclusion Leadership Council, the DLC Advisory Committee will take the next year to reinvent and restructure these awards with the updated version to be launched for the 2020-21 program year.
