In Preparation For Equal Pay Day

Equal Pay Day

On Wednesday, March 11th, 2015 Coach Nadine Bannerman, graduate of the Harvard Negotiations Program of Instruction for Lawyers will focus on how women can become expert negotiators in their workplaces to narrow the wage gap. Remember to wear red at the office on March 18 to acknowledge the gap and show your support for Equal Pay. Together we can narrow the gender wage gap to line up with peer countries.

BPW Calgary has been invited to present an update on the efforts to narrow the gap in Canada at the United Nations Headquarters during the 59th Commission on the Status of Women in New York at the German House on March 10th, 2015.  Check out our journey from the streets to the schools and boardrooms and into the House of Commons this past Fall.  2012 to 2014 Equal Pay Day Journey Final
