International Women’s Day: 6 inspiring women
We are taking a moment this International Women’s Day to celebrate trailblazing women, to reflect on progress and to call for continuing change to advance gender equality. The 2019 Women’s Day theme: Think equal, build smart, innovate for change, is a natural fit with the Pierre Elliot Trudeau Foundation’s core values of inclusion, diversity and excellence.
We are proud to have achieved gender parity on our Board of Directors and continue to award a diverse group of Scholars and build relationships with inspiring Mentors and Fellows who share their knowledge that flows from rich and varied backgrounds, experiences, and fields of expertise.
