Inspiring stories from local leaders
Reflecting on our Women in Business event on March 31, we’re reminded how fortunate we are to be surrounded by so many incredible female leaders in our community.
Our keynote speaker, Kim Stegeman-Lowe, President of SSA Marine Canada, set the tone with her insights on leadership and resilience in a rapidly changing business landscape.
The panel discussion, moderated by Kimberley Knook, Founder of AgentMarket.ca, featured remarkable stories from:
- Mariana Freitas, Co-Owner, Life Studio
- Emily Kerr, Vice President, Business Banking, BMO
- Kari Kylo, Founder & Managing Director, SOMA Public Relations
- Maryam Nani, Manager, North Shore Immigrant Inclusion Partnership, Impact North Shore
The conversation highlighted the power of mentorship and collaboration among women, and the importance of incorporating individuality and personality into leadership style.
A gathering of community leaders
Beyond the discussions, the event was a meaningful networking opportunity. NV Chamber members and guests shared experiences, exchanged ideas, and left energized to continue driving positive change in their businesses and communities.
