“Leaders for Tomorrow was an inspir- ing program that pushed me to take risks in my teaching journey. I met a network of women who, like me, were seeking to explore their ideas, curi- osities and visions for change. Like a tapestry, these women all wove stories, perspectives and advice that prepared me to be a better educator. I am forever grateful for this program because it shiſted my approach to teaching and learning and revealed to me the pos- sibilities for collectivity at ETFO.” ........................................

“Participating in Leaders for Tomor- row has been a deeply transformative experience. From the very first session, I felt welcomed into a powerful space where women leaders came to- gether to learn, grow and support one another. What made this program ex- ceptional was not just the rich content and thoughtfully designed learning sessions. It was the relationships, the sense of connection and the trust built among participants and facilitators. Te most powerful outcome


was the community we created. We organized events together, created a WhatsApp group to stay connected, and continue to support one an- other. We share resources, upcoming leadership opportunities, and offer encouragement during challenging times. Te friendships formed during this program are lasting, and I am so grateful for the women who are now part of my circle. Leaders for Tomor- row reminded me that leadership is about liſting others, creating space, and leading with integrity and care. As a woman in leadership, I can


confidently say I am a product of ETFO Women's Programs.”
