In March, we celebrated International Women’s Day and the vital work of overcoming the challenges women face. Recognizing the importance of this day, our team at PIC has made a point of amplifying women’s voices throughout the March issue of The Buzz:
- In Diverse Threads, Jacqui DeBique, SCMP, Maureen Hosein, ABC, and I talk to Brent Artemchuk about our perspectives as women in the workplace and ideas for positive changes. Highlight: Maureen quotes Helen Reddy!
- Our PIC Personality is Yasmine El Shafei Khalil, SCMP, IABC/Toronto’s Vice President of Programs. Yasmine describes her journey from being an independent to a new role that allows her to fulfill a long-standing personal mission.
- We share awards and milestones for PIC members Cathy Cowan, Alix Edmiston, ABC, and Matisse Hamel-Nelis, ADS, CPACC.
In this issue, you’ll also meet new members David McLaughlin and Teresa Pagnutti. And you’ll get the details for our next online professional development session on March 26 and our in-person networking social on May 6. I hope to see you there!
If you have any comments or questions, ideas for professional development topics, or wish to volunteer with PIC, reach out to me at toronto-sig@iabc.to. I’m always happy to hear from you.
