CHAPTER News from EV NCR

Equal Voice NCR launched Particip8/ Marrainage on March 8, 2010 at restaurants and around kitchen tables in the region, as discussed above. NCR also strongly supported the Ottawa Experiences Networking Reception at The Metropolitain on March 9. The event brought together approximately fifty mentors, mentees, and supporters for a night filled with networking games, and fun. Equal Voice NCR was happy to have been a part!

We are busy organizing our EVE Ottawa Award and look forward to announcing the details in the coming months. We also look forward to Ottawa Race Weekend at the end of May where we will undertake outreach into the woman-dominated running community. Stay tuned for details!

We are planning our final installment in the Conversations With… series. Details to come.
