“It’s important understand that this isn’t going to happen by accident. We need to be intentional about our actions in creating inclusive leadership. We need to recognize when the faces in the zoom room or the board room do not reflect the diversity of the society that we serve, and then do something about it. Simply saying everyone’s welcome is not enough. You have to be willing to invest in the solutions. Celebrate diversity in leadership – tell the stories, highlight the role models, lift one another up.” BCWSA Executive Director Gail Hamamoto is a fierce advocate for parasport and gender equity. She isn't afraid to #ChooseToChallenge the inequities that play out the field of play, on the sidelines and in the boardroom!
