On Thursday, March 8th, the Surrey Board of Trade will host the 9th Annual Surrey Women in Business Awards Luncheon, with Presenting Sponsor Vancity. This event recognizes the hard work of Surrey’s business women and their contributions to the community.
We will be joined by keynote speaker The Right Honourable Kim Campbell, Canada’s 19th Prime Minister. Ms. Campbell rose to international fame as Canada’s first female Prime Minister and one of the youngest Prime Ministers worldwide. Since her time as leader, she has traveled to represent Canada and strengthen democracy, security, and women’s leadership around the world. She, currently, is the chairperson for Canada’s Supreme Court Advisory Board. Kim Campbell was recently honoured as a Global Woman of Vision.
Commodore Marta Mulkins, Commander of Naval Reserves for the Royal Canadian Navy, will also join us as our Vignette speaker. Commodore Mulkins is the first woman to command a Maritime Coastal Defence Vessel, serving as Commanding Officer of HMCS Kingston.
