In celebration of Women’s History Month, Consul General Anne Callaghan hosted a networking and mentorship reception for young female professionals across a variety of sectors. A senior investment banker, the CEO of the YWCA, and one of the Vancouver Sun’s most senior columnists joined the Consul General in highlighting things they wished we knew at the start of their careers and words of wisdom they would tell themselves at 25. The event was an outstanding way to reach out to young professional women, and connecting these women with the mentors facilitated exchange on important career and lifestyle issues—which, as one participant said, “should never be called ‘pink-collar issues.’”
