9th Annual Mayor’s Luncheon: Future Proof Your Business through Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion. IDEAS TO ACTION

In line with our mission, “transform community through the lens of disability”, Gateway Association hosts the annual Mayor’s Luncheon to build momentum and leadership for a more inclusive business community that acknowledges and promotes marginalized communities in Alberta.
Workplace inclusion is the answer to meeting labour market needs, employee retention, diversification of products – all of these are necessary to a growing Alberta. Along with the opportunity to network, the yearly, one-of-a-kind event is an opportunity to build momentum, leadership and to learn from other employers and leaders who advocate for and hire inclusively.
This year, our Emcee, Sarah Chan, will be facilitating a panel discussion with a diverse group of community and business leaders. You’ll leave the event with new connections, new understandings, new ideas, and resources. Together, we’ll move IDEAS TO ACTION.
