As part of its 2024 mandate to increase women’s management roles in different spheres while expanding reach, The African Women in Leadership Organisation (AWLO) recently held its Canadian chapter inaugural summit.
The summit marked a significant milestone in its journey towards promoting women’s empowerment and ensuring adequate representation of women in various sectors.
Themed, ‘investing in women, closing the representation gap’, it underscores AWLO’s unwavering commitment to addressing challenges faced by African women in leadership roles, while recognising their invaluable contributions to diverse sectors.
Founder, AWLO, Dr. Elisha Attai said the Canada inaugural summit ushers in a new era of empowerment and possibilities for women. “The Canada chapter of AWLO represents a new chapter of opportunity and collaboration. We celebrate the diversity, strength, and potential of women in Canada and Africa. Our goal is to foster meaningful connections, provide resources and support, and create opportunities for women to thrive in leadership roles across various sectors.”
He also reaffirmed AWLO’s commitment to advocacy for gender equality, and bridging the gap in terms of social and economic opportunities for women across the globe.
“The AWLO Canada inauguration summit is not just an event; it is a call to action, one where women are not only represented but celebrated and supported in their leadership endeavours,” he added.
