WiDS Remarkable Leaders
NEW STARTING IN 2025: The WiDS Executive Committee listened to your feedback and with the support of our sponsor, Leonardo, we have changed the name of our Emerging Leader program to our Remarkable Leader program to be more inclusive of women at any point in their career. From junior levels to senior executives, all women deserve recognition for their positive contribution and impact to the Canadian defence and security industry.
WiDS works to provide women with a network that empowers them to be their whole selves - because we know that a more diverse and inclusive community makes us all stronger. Nominated annually at our Awards Breakfast by participating organizations, the WiDS Remarkable Leaders campaign celebrates the value women bring to Canada’s Defence and Security community.
Who is a Remarkable Leader?
Any person who identifies as a woman who is at any stage of their career and is doing great things. It is a person who is inspiring change, blazing a trail, creating trends and setting an example for other young women to follow. It is a person who deserves to be recognized for her contribution to her work.
How do you submit someone for recognition as a Remarkable Leader?
The Remarkable Leader campaign is associated with the Annual Awards Breakfast. Therefore, any company or department who purchases an in-person table or 10 virtual tickets to the WiDS flagship event, can submit a Remarkable Leader for recognition at the Breakfast. The link to submit a Remarkable Leader will be sent to the individual who purchased the tickets shortly after the purchase is complete. All submissions will be required two weeks before the Breakfast in order to have the Remarkable Leader recognized at the Annual Awards Breakfast.
