OTTAWA, March 8th, 2018: Women in Communications and Technology (WCT) announced today the recipients of their prestigious Leadership Excellence Awards which recognize women, men and organizations committed to diversity and closing the gender gap in Canadian communications, media and technology industries.
“It is an honour to recognize these winners as leaders in Canada’s digital industries,” says Michelle Magwood, national chair of WCT and Senior Finance Director at Rogers. “They are champions of change who inspire others to unite to close the gender gap. Communications and technology are fiercely competitive and innovation-driven industries where women still represent less than 27% of the workforce and 9% of leaders in the C-suite. It’s time to change those numbers.”
