EDUCATION SESSION #857
Gender Diversity on Corporate Boards and Executive Management Teams
|
|
Exclusive roundtable: The business case for gender diversity on corporate boards and executive management teams has been made. What are the next steps?
Enjoy a roundtable discussion that will be moderated by Beatrix Dart, the Executive Director of Rotman’s Initiative for Women in Business and the Co-Chair of the Canadian Gender and Good Governance Alliance.
Beatrix will speak about the collaborative efforts by various organizations such as the 30% Club to amplify and coordinate efforts to increase gender parity on boards and in executive positions. Interestingly, she will touch on the research that confirms why diversity programs have failed and why different strategies need to be deployed. Let’s discuss actionable steps that each of us can take to promote forward career momentum. Together, we will move beyond networking, leverage each other and exercise thought leadership to have more impact.
Whether or not you attend this event, if interested in serving on a corporate, private, or nonprofit board, please complete the 100 Women in
Finance Corporate/Private and
Nonprofit Board questionnaires.

Barometer
Capital Management Inc. provides discretionary wealth management services to over 400 high-net-worth families in Canada and the United States, as well as the management of pools and funds.
The firm follows an unbiased approach to investment management, which allows Barometer to invest with discipline, while maintaining the conviction to take defensive measures when their assessment of market conditions signals a need for change.
Barometer engages in tactical asset management. Through the use of proprietary risk and breadth models, this helps to ensure that portfolios have the capacity to tactically shift as market conditions evolve. This further helps to ensure that Barometer portfolios maintain the ability to remain relevant against the backdrop of current market conditions—not a static index—and to express both sector and asset allocations through a strict fundamental assessment at the security level.
The Barometer investment process provides both objectivity and transparency, helping to ensure ongoing engagement with clients and advisor partners.
