About the Enbridge Famous 5 Speaker Series
This series profiled extraordinarily successful women who spoke candidly about their careers, and the passion, vision and determination that drives them. The speakers discussed our place in society and the ethical responsibilities and consequences of our actions. In relating their lives, guests heard about challenges as well as triumphs, humorous incidents and stories of loss, humbling moments of reflection and inspiring calls to action. The Famous 5 Foundation’s Leadership Lunches launched on Oct. 18, 1996. In 2004, Enbridge became our title sponsor and we are very grateful for their on-going support!
Pink Teas servaient à rassembler les femmes pour mettre au point des stratégies pour obtenir le droit de vote et se présenter aux élections. Les nôtres présenteront des femmes influentes et inspirantes qui nous parleront de questions d’actualité et des possibilités qui s’offrent à nous. Qui sait, nous pourrons peut-être réaliser leur rêve, peut-être même le vôtre.
