Women in Governance: delivering results on gender parity – Year-long certification process illustrates commitment to EDI

Bishop’s University is proud of having achieved a Silver-level Women in Governance Parity Certification.

Research has shown that a diverse pool of talent at all levels of an organization, especially in decision-making bodies, supports better performance and improves the potential for innovation and adaptation in the face of changing circumstances.

“Bishop’s University more than ever is committed, and continues along the path to become the truly inclusive community it desires and deserves to be,” indicates Principal and Vice-Chancellor Michael Goldbloom, C.M.

The Women in Governance Certification was achieved through the leadership of the Dean of Bishop’s University’s Williams School of Business, Reena Atanasiadis, who concludes that “achievements such as this one need to be celebrated and their positive story to be told far and wide, if we want to keep the momentum going forward and showing that with good will and hard work, we can ensure everyone feels and are treated as equals within our institutions.”
