A conversation with the former U.S. First Lady
Vancity is the presenting sponsor for the upcoming Greater Vancouver Board of Trade event featuring a conversation with the former U.S. First Lady, who has been an influential voice for advancing the societal well-being of women and girls. The launch of her initiative Let Girls Learn, provides adolescent girls around the world, even those in areas of conflict and crisis, the opportunity to pursue and complete their education.
This high-profile event is an opportunity to highlight Vancity’s work as a leader in advocating for gender equality, challenging unconscious bias, and encouraging diversity and inclusion in the workplace.
We’re also proud that our CEO Tamara Vrooman will be moderating the conversation with Michelle Obama.
