The Inspire Network is a grassroots organization of employees from across TransCanada to foster a workplace that encourages women to reach their full potential. We are moving toward this goal by increasing awareness of workplace issues, facilitating networking opportunities, and acting as a resource to TransCanada’s leadership on women’s issues.
This was the fifth year of operation for TransCanada’s Inspire Network. With senior leadership sponsorship and committed resources, volunteers from throughout the company worked on sub-teams to support the network. The network continued to increase awareness of issues such as career management, mentoring and work/life balance. Inspire also continued to establish internal and external networks and host events such as lunch and learns, speaker events, and several networking sessions open to all employees.
One of the opportunities that the Inspire Network offers is the Women’s Leadership Forum. In 2007, TransCanada was once again a lead sponsor of the Women’s Leadership Forum in Calgary that drew more than 1,000 participants from across Canada and the U.S.
