Happy December, everyone!
It’s hard to believe that we’re already in the final month of 2022! The year just flew by, and I couldn’t be more thrilled about all we have accomplished here at CCDI: from the relaunch of our youth program See Different to our full slate of events; from our 2022 cohorts of Canadian Certified Inclusion Professionals (CCIP) to our many resources and toolkits; and that just scratches the surface. There aren’t enough words to express my gratitude to the entire CCDI team, all our invited guests and speakers, and to you, our clients and friends. Thank you, all!
For this month’s Leader Talks podcast, I sat down with Ana Maria Desmaison Cornejo and Linda Espinosa Valencia from Ventura Collective to discuss the significant contributions of Latin American and Hispanic communities to the social, economic, political, and cultural fabric of Canada. We also talk about what employers can do to support an equitable and inclusive workplace for Latinx workers.
I am thrilled to be participating in the inaugural DreamMakers Summit on December 7, co-hosted by Indigenous Works and CCDI. An exclusive virtual event for organizations who are both CCDI Employer Partners and Indigenous Works members, we will explore Indigenous inclusion in the workplace through case study presentations and the lived experience of our invited guests. Our goal is help participants better understand the importance of building Indigenous engagement and their role in true reconciliation.
2023 will be auspicious year for CCDI, as we will be celebrating our 10-year anniversary. We look forward to sharing with you a varied range of new offerings, including our UnConference 2023, when we will look back on what we’ve accomplished and forward towards a better future.
Thank you again to everyone who helped make 2022 a successful year for CCDI. I cannot wait to see you all in 2023!
All the best,
Anne-Marie Pham
CEO
