Transformation Institute for Leadership & Innovation

Published purpose

Through this 25 -month systemic change project, TRANSFORMATION INSTITUTE FOR LEADERSHIP & INNOVATION will help advance women’s economic security and prosperity through systemic change. The project will address systemic barriers faced by diverse women to assume leadership roles in the film industry in Ontario, by challenging gender stereotypes and biases and advocating for the required policy changes. Specifically, the organization will engage and consult with diverse women film directors and the film industry to lead a needs assessment. Based on the needs identified, they will develop a collection of resources, disseminate these resources and engage with representatives from the film business and relevant policy makers to raise their awareness and advocate for the required policy changes to increase the representation of diverse women in leadership roles in this industry. An external evaluator will measure and assess the impact of the systemic change project.
