Heather Odendaal of WNORTH named a Report on Business magazine Changemaker for 2022 by The Globe and Mail
Changemakers is an editorial award program produced by Report on Business magazine at The Globe and Mail. It intends to showcase the emerging leaders transforming business today.
WHISTLER, B.C., Feb. 25, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- WNORTH is pleased to announce that founder Heather Odendaal has been named a top 50 Changemaker of 2022 by Report on Business magazine.
"Since its inception in 2015, my mission with WNORTH has been to have those tough conversations with leaders about nurturing the leadership pipeline and build out adequate support structures for working parents, female-identifying individuals, and people of colour," says Odendaal. "The challenges affecting women from advancing to senior executive leadership were clearly highlighted over the course of the pandemic. It's an honour to work in this space to provide women with the educational tools, virtual events, membership platform, and resources for them to keep pushing forward on their career trajectories".
Changemakers were selected by The Globe and Mail's award-winning editorial team for their ideas, accomplishments, and impact, as determined by their nominations, subsequent interviews, and reference checks.
"The world is facing more challenges than ever before – climate change, racial discrimination, income inequality, not to mention the pandemic," says Dawn Calleja, editor of Report on Business magazine. "So it's heartening to meet this year's crop of 50 Changemakers, who are searching for solutions to many of these problems and offering some inspiration."
Editorial coverage of all 2022 Changemakers can be found in the March 2022 issue of Report on Business magazine, distributed with The Globe and Mail on Saturday, February 26th, and online now at tgam.ca/Changemakers.
