The sponsorship is part of BMO’s ongoing work to support small businesses in making real financial progress, especially those led by women. Throughout November, the recipients of the BMO-sponsored award have been included in various virtual events with the bank’s senior leaders, such as thought-leadership presentations, roundtable discussions, and networking luncheons with fellow honourees.
Launched in 2003, the Top 100 Awards celebrate the incredible accomplishments of Canada’s leading female executive talent as well as their organizations and networks. The awards serve to recognize talented leaders in the private, public, and not-for-profit sectors as well as inspire the current and next generation of women to push the boundaries of what’s possible. The winners are selected by WXN’s Diversity Council of Canada.
