Catalyst Honours 2020: Progress Won’t Pause
Presenting Sponsor
On October 6-8, 2020, the Catalyst Honours Conference and Dinner were transformed to a far-reaching virtual gathering of leaders and practitioners passionate about diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Catalyst Honours 2020 featured an exciting array of speakers, research and learnings, and networking opportunities. We also celebrated six extraordinary Canadian corporate leaders who were named Catalyst Honours Champions. All six leaders have made transformational contributions to accelerating progress for women through workplace inclusion and represent the gold standard for inclusive leadership in corporate Canada. In this time of immense disruption and change, the Catalyst community came together to share their visions and strategies for creating the inclusive, equitable future we wish to see. Because we are determined to ensure that progress doesn’t pause.
