		<title>A daughter&#8217;s tribute!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This week I received the email below from a friend. I thought I would share it with you and I hope you enjoy it! &#160; Please take a look at an article my friend Cheryl&#8217;s daughter wrote in honour of her Mom for Mother&#8217;s Day.  She&#8217;s just finished her undergrad at NYU and she&#8217;s making [...]]]></description>

		<title>Letter to My Daughter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’m a wife, mother, family member, friend, writer and career woman. I am blessed to have a daughter and son and son-in-law. When Janet Graham and I first met, we conceived the idea of writing a series of letters to my daughter that would distill some of the lessons I’ve learned juggling career and family.

		<title>Why do corporate boards still lean so heavily toward men?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The conversation regarding the dearth of women on corporate boards used to make me angry; it now just disheartens me. The CEO quoted in the Leah Eichler article is absolutely right. The talent pool of qualified women is enormous, yet the statistics of women on boards remains stagnant wherever you look. We think we know [...]]]></description>

		<title>An inspiration to us all!!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Several articles and announcements in the press recently have inspired me and I thought I would share them with you, just in case you had missed them or hadn&#8217;t found the time to read them. &#160; The first was published in the ROB magazine on March 29. It tells the story of the wonderful Jane [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why do corporate boards still lean so heavily toward men?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I think there is only one answer to this question:  getting women on boards is not a priority for most companies. This is the only reason that can account for such minimal movement in the number of female directors in the last 20 years. There are highly qualified women. There are women who have been [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today is the 95th anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge, &#8220;the triumphant First World War battle in which Canada suffered 10,600 casualties, nearly 3,600 of them fatal.&#8221;  In an article in today&#8217;s Globe Jane Urquhart, author of The Stone Carvers, &#8220;recalls the neglect &#8212; historic and physical &#8212; that Vimy and its spectacular monument [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why do corporate boards still lean so heavily towards men?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My response to the question based on what I have seen is as follows. Most men don&#8217;t proactively think about, or focus on this issue. So they typically just reach out to other men they know or know of, when looking to recruit new board members. The chair of the board or the governance committee (ideally [...]]]></description>
