A huge and heartfelt THANK YOU to our outgoing pre

A huge and heartfelt THANK YOU to our outgoing president, Angela Payne, for all of her hard work, dedication, support, care and passion that she has given to this board in the past two (very tricky and at times, difficult) years. Always with a smile on her face, Angela has been a fervent champion for this community of Canadian women and we are indebted to her for pushing Lean In Canada into it's post-pandemic future. We will miss you dearly and to quote the women herself, let's all "be big and take up lots of space!" in her honour.

LGBTQ+ women are also significantly more likely than women overall to advocate for new opportunities for women of color, publicly acknowledge them for their contributions and speak out when they see bias and discrimination against women of color at work.⁠ #Pride2022 #FreeToBeMe #WomenInTheWorkplace
