Powerful You! 2025 Luncheon & Fundraiser

​Join us on May 1, 2025, at the Fairmont Palliser in Calgary for the third annual Powerful You! Luncheon, hosted by Making Changes Association. This pivotal event brings together business leaders and community members to engage in a candid conversation aimed at accelerating progress toward gender parity. Funds raised will directly support over 3,000 women and teen girls through programs such as Dress for Success Calgary, Women in Technology (WIT), My Best Friend’s Closet, and Basic Digital Skills for Women. ​ The theme for Powerful You! 2025 is “Making Changes to Accelerate Action”, aligning with the United Nations’ International Women’s Day campaign, which highlights the urgent need to expedite efforts toward full gender parity—a goal that, at the current rate, may not be achieved until 2158. This critical conversation must extend beyond International Women’s Day, and your participation is vital. ​ Our esteemed panelists include: • Sarah Kramer​, District Vice President, Calgary Southeast, TD Bank Group • Shahzia Noorally, M.Ed​, Program Manager – Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging, ENMAX • Shari Graydon​, Founder & Catalyst, Informed Opinions • Sona Khosla​, Chief Impact Officer, Benevity These leaders will share their professional journeys, discuss the impact of the current political climate on diversity and inclusion efforts, and explore actionable strategies for those committed to accelerating change.
