7 ABOUT US Women in Governance is a non-profit, non-governmental organization founded in 2010 with the mission of supporting women in their leadership development, career advancement, and access to board seats. The alarming statistics of the number of women in senior positions or serving on boards of directors motivated us to create this organization. Things have greatly evolved in the past fifty years for women. However, to this day, only 5% of women in Canada are CEOs, 15.9% of board of director seats are occupied by women and 40% of boards do not have any female members. We have a gap left to fill. All the research has shown that the presence of women in company decision-making bodies results in better financial performance. Allowing women to progress with no glass ceiling or sticky floor doesn t only benefit women, it benefits companies, the economy, and society as a whole, especially in a context where talented individuals are hard to come by. 7 / 11

9 GALA 2016 Women in Governance s Annual Gala September 14, / 11

10 PARITY CERTIFICATION With the objective of helping companies increase the representation of women in highranking roles, Women in Governance has established a Parity Certification. It is an innovative norm that addresses parity in business decision-making bodies, but also in succession planning and the implementation of mechanisms enabling women in roles of all hierarchical levels to further their careers, thus creating a pool of female talent. This innovative certification was launched in 2017 in Quebec, year during which 17 companies from different sectors participated: The Montreal Port Authority / National Bank / Staples Wholesale Office / CNESST / Coop Fédérée / Desjardins / Fairmont Château Frontenac / Lavery / LCI Education Network / McKesson / Rio Tinto / SAP / Sodexo / Ubisoft / RBC Royal Bank, Sun Life Financial and Intact Insurance achieved certification at the Platinum level. In 2018, the certification was launched nationally, and 32 companies from across Canada have participated. Their names will be announced ten days before the September 11 GALA. 10 / 11

11 MENTORING PROGRAM Our mentorship program brings together 40 women a year who are in management positions (VPs, CFOs, etc.), who are mostly in large and very large companies and aspiring to senior executive management or board of director positions. Research shows that there is no shortage of competent and experienced women to fill positions in corporate decision-making bodies and that there is a strong interest from women for such positions. However, many women struggle to transition between management and executive management roles. This is partly due to the lack of "sponsors" who would offer more than just advice, but would concretely support these women's career advancement (men in similar positions are 46% more likely to have such a sponsor) as well as the weak support of the corporate world with regards to work-life balance. Women in Governance s mentoring program is unique as it supports high-level women's development through the last push that will allow them to break the glass ceiling. GOVERNANCE TRAINING Women in Governance is proud to partner with IGOPP (Institute for governance of private and public organizations to offer a series of 5 training workshops entitled: Key issues in corporate governance. We are empowering women to be ready to take a seat at the table of board of directors. 11 / 11
