Reception - B.C. Economic Forum: Women as a catalyst for growth
On October 24, 2014 over 20 different women's business networks made history by collaborating to host the B.C. Economic Forum: Women as a catalyst for growth. Over 400 community and government leaders along with influencers from across the Province came together to generate ideas and recommendation that have built the foundation for an action plan.
