Elevate Entre-Nous

Happy New Year!

We are thrilled to kick off the year with a transformative leadership event that will unite and inspire leaders dedicated to shaping a better future.

It is with great pleasure that we invite you to the Elevate Entre-Nous event on January 30, 2025, from 5:30 PM to 8:00 PM at the Meridian Theatres @ Centrepointe. Join us for an evening of thought-provoking and insightful conversations on purpose-driven leadership that is making the world better and driving the advancement of women's leadership.

This event's theme is:
“Leading with Purpose: Transforming Systems, Empowering Futures”

Across industries—from healthcare and economic development to workforce innovation—leaders are stepping forward with bold visions that are breaking down barriers and reshaping entire sectors. These leaders are not only transforming their fields but are also championing equity, innovation, and sustainable growth for all.

At this event, we will explore how leadership grounded in purpose and moral courage can drive systemic change, foster collaboration, and inspire meaningful progress. Through stories of resilience, advocacy, and bold decision-making, our speakers will shed light on the pivotal role leaders play in uplifting communities, amplifying diverse voices, and reimagining the future.

The conversation will highlight how leadership can extend beyond profit, becoming a vehicle for empowerment and societal impact—whether it’s advancing healthcare accessibility, building economic resilience, or paving the way for inclusive workplaces.

Stay tuned for more details on our dynamic speakers and agenda!

This event is proudly presented by Elevate International in partnership with Meridian and supported by with the WCPD Foundation. Our Entre-Nous gatherings have consistently sparked meaningful dialogue and cultivated lasting connections, and we are excited to continue this powerful tradition in person.
