Empower Her

Join us in our mission to empower and inspire female leaders in Canadian healthcare.

The EmpowerHER Leadership Network was born from a conversation and partnership between Jennifer Stewart, President and CEO of Syntax Strategic, and Emily Gruenwoldt, CEO of Children’s Healthcare Canada, who saw the opportunity to support female leaders to grow their professional networks, explore how leadership roles and responsibilities are evolving, and create a safe space to learn new skills. The EmpowerHER Leadership Network will convene established health, media, and political leaders to share their experiences and insights on the following topics:
