Thank you Jo-Anne Ryan, FEA, MFA-P and TD Private Wealth Management for partnering with The Samara Centre for Democracy on an important conversation about how women and their philanthropic efforts can bolster our democracy.
Since the publication of TD ‘s research “Trust and Transformation: Canadian Women and Philanthropy https://lnkd.in/gyvqBjEg, we have been hosting events with charities across the country to discuss our research and to hear from inspirational women who share their heartfelt stories about giving time and money. Our most recent event was held at The Samara Centre for Democracy. I had the honor of moderating a panel discussion with lisa laflamme , Priyangini Vir and Jess Merber, FEA. Thank you Sabreena Delhon for hosting this important conversation.
