The Irving K. Barber Faculty of Science is pleased to invite the community to this spring’s Distinguished Speaker Series event, featuring international business leader Phaedria Marie St. Hilaire.
A skilled public speaker and storyteller, St. Hilaire is passionate about diversity, inclusion and belonging, and changing the gender and race narrative.
The talk will take place on Wednesday, April 3, at the Kelowna Community Theatre at 7 p.m.
Research shows that large companies with gender-diverse leadership teams are 25 percent more likely to outperform their non-diverse industry peers financially. That number rises to 36 percent for ethnically diverse teams.
St. Hilaire is an international business leader with more than 20 years of experience in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries.
