Celebrate and support women’s economic success at the Success Luncheon November 20!

These are the results of good jobs, financial independence, and personal success.

In July of 2024 Canada’s Minister for Women and Gender Equality and Youth reported that over the past 40 years, greater participation of women in the workforce has contributed approximately 1/3 of Canada’s economic growth. Yet the Canadian Chamber of Commerce reported in March that women occupy less than ¼ of the boardroom seats in corporate environments and only 35% of management roles.


Significant challenges remain for women to achieve economic parity, and Dress for Success, operating in 13 locations from Vancouver to Halifax, is focused on changing that. You can learn more about Dress for Success on their website – including how to find an affiliate in your area.

The Success Luncheon in Vancouver on November 20 will be an inspiring networking event celebrating 25 years of Dress for Success’ history in Metro Vancouver, delivering workshops, attire, mentorship and guidance to women in Vancouver. You can learn more about the Success Luncheon on their website

With our focus on finding great leaders for the Canadian retail industry, we have been privileged to work with incredible women as both clients and candidates, from single unit field operators to senior executives up to the CEO level. Our latest Talent Spotlight shows examples of the exceptional industry leaders we’re in contact with, and some of the roles retailers have turned to us to help with – including experienced field operators, highly skilled digital and ecommerce professionals, results focused sales and marketing drivers, product and logistics specialists, and senior executives who are able to deliver at both the strategic and tactical levels. These are just a small sample of where we could help you find the retail leaders who can help you get to the next level.

You can reach out any time to see how we can help – we’d be happy to chat. If you’d like to learn how we can help you find the retail leaders you need to meet the challenges of today and tomorrow, contact Lee Arthur-Burke at 416.420.5316 x1, or contact Michelle Hutchinson at 514.523.0505 x5.

While at the Success Luncheon, you’ll be able to network with dozens of other business, community and philanthropic leaders to celebrate 25 years of success in empowering women and learn how you can help by:

  • Aligning your brand with Dress for Success
  • Becoming a sponsor of Dress for Success
