  • Richelle Akimow

    Gordon Food Service

    “This event is incredible. If you’re in recreation, tourism or hospitality and have female leaders, or women who want to lead, and you’re not engaging with WORTH Association, you’re missing out. WORTH is making tangible progress to uplift and prepare women for leadership and c-suite roles. It’s worth your time, energy and support.”

  • Kendall Clancy

    “I know I wouldn’t be who or where I am today without the experience I gained and the networks I was fortunate enough to build and foster through this incredible Association. I encourage anyone and everyone to get involved if they can!”

  • Brenna Wheatley

    “[WORTH] provided me excellent opportunities to network with like minded individuals. I was able to be part of their mentorship program and was also involved in many other events that were geared towards elevating and empowering women in their career.”

  • Natalie Nicholls

    “WORTH let’s your potential shine and genuinely cares about making volunteering a mutually rewarding experience...”

  • Stephanie Couture

  • Bella Dingman

    “WORTH has given me the opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals, in an industry that I love so much. It has given me hope for the future, that women will continue to make waves, break down walls, and defy stereotypes”

  • Anonymous Survey Respondent

    “May every woman find that WORTH can be their safe space, the start of their career growth, connection to the community and assurance that many women are willing to lift them, support them and achieve big dreams! Thank you to everyone who made this happen!”

  • Meeru Dhalwala

    “WORTH instinctively feels and ushers in the fact that we women are different from men in how we work, run things at home, interact with peers and staff, prioritize, spend revenues, speak, laugh . . . and yet we celebrate and work towards inclusivity. We aren’t asking anyone to move over. We are asking everyone to shake hands of equity through example.”

Feel the fear, do it anyways. Be confident. Believe in yourself. Be proud of how far you've come. Keep showing up, stay curious, and give yourself the same encouragement you'd give a friend. You are learning, growing, and you absolutely belong here.
It was never just about the destination. The growth, the lessons, the resilience, it all happens along the way. 🛤️ Sometimes we don’t realize how far we’ve come until we pause and look back. Take a moment. Acknowledge your progress, wha
