Fort McMurray, AB – April 15, 2024 – Girls Inc. of Northern Alberta and Bouchier are proud to announce the continuation of their impactful partnership through the Women of Inspiration Series.
Women of Inspiration is Girls Inc. of Northern Alberta’s signature mission-driven award program since 2012. In 2019, Girls Inc. of Northern Alberta entered a multi-year partnership with Bouchier to launch a new series with an overarching theme ‘You can’t be what you can’t see’.
Embarking on a renewed journey with a significant commitment of $75,000 over three years, and an option for a two-year extension, this alliance is initiating another phase entitled ‘Waves of Change: Charting the Path to Inspiration’.
Each year will highlight different industries, professions, and local talents that the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo (RMWB) has to offer by honoring five local women in the Wood Buffalo region who break gender stereotypes, drive change, and advocate for women’s and girls’ rights and opportunities.
In charting a path to inspiration, Girls Inc. of Northern Alberta and Bouchier are excited to announce the call for nominations for the 2024-2025 Women of Inspiration Series
The 2024-2025 theme is ‘Leaders of Today’. This year, the series will honour five local women in leadership roles across various sectors across the RMWB, like politics, business, education, community development, and many other decision-making spaces – who are exemplifying the courage, strength, and determination that Girls Inc. of Northern Alberta and Bouchier advocate for.
All community members are invited to submit nominations by the deadline of May 30, 2024.
