A journalist and former news anchor at Groupe TVA for over 15 years, Cindy Royer has distinguished herself through her professionalism, rigor, and connection with the public. Between 2023 and 2024, she put her expertise at the service of emerging entrepreneurs by sitting on the creative marketing committee of the Jeune Chambre de commerce de Montréal.

Since June 2023, she has been sharing her passion for communication and leadership as a trainer at the École des dirigeants at HEC Montréal. She also serves as Director of Training at Flanagan Relations publiques, where she supports managers and spokespersons in developing their communication skills.

Who better than a media professional to embody this edition's theme "Making Tomorrow's Headlines"? With her journalistic experience, her involvement in the business community, and her ability to create authentic connections, Cindy Royer will bring a tone that is both warm, inspiring, and professional to this Gala.

She will guide us through an evening designed as an immersive experience, where every moment will recall the energy of a newsroom and where Parity™ certified organizations will become the true protagonists of tomorrow's news.

Join us for an anniversary edition marked by impact and elegance!

As a reminder, our Gala will be presented by WSP under the honorary co-chairship of Geneviève Fortier, Chief Executive Officer of Promutuel Assurance, and Denis Thivierge, President and Chief Executive Officer of CIMA+. This year, this prestigious evening will be all the more special as it will celebrate our 15th anniversary.

Beyond highlighting the commitment and achievements of a hundred prestigious Parity™ certified organizations advancing parity and gender equality within their teams and decision-making bodies, this major evening will above all mark the 15th anniversary of Women in Governance, an important milestone in our collective commitment to more equitable leadership.

Participate in the most strategic networking event of the year!

The annual Women in Governance Gala is much more than a simple recognition ceremony. It is an exceptional event, designed to offer an unparalleled networking experience within a carefully selected audience.

It will bring together CEOs, board chairs, senior executives, political figures, and influential leaders... in short, high-level decision-makers rarely gathered in one place. An essential influential gathering where networking takes on its full meaning.

We are convinced that Cindy Royer's presence will help make this edition an unforgettable moment, worthy of the importance of the causes we champion.

Join us on September 25 in Montreal for an evening of recognition, celebration, and inspiration. We would be delighted to have you join us for this anniversary edition, which promises to be memorable.
