Past
Witty, honest, and incredibly observant, Rona has so many stories to share, including her struggles with, and advocacy about, mental health, and how she learned, finally, to slow down, through loving her mutt and opening her eyes to the amazing world outside her door.
Guardian Women™ goes to the West Coast! We are building a community of women who are inspired to learn, engage and transform their relationship with investing and their financial future. Our first gathering in Vancouver was an intimate and memorable luncheon at the Shaughnessy Restaurant in VanDusen Botanical Gardens followed by a visit to the wonderful floral installations of Fleurs de Villes.
Trailblazer. Entrepreneur. Philanthropist. These are just three of many attributes we could use to describe the life of Sherry Shannon-Vanstone, President and CEO of Profound Impact Corporation, and co-founder of Women Funding Women Inc. A warm and brilliant yet humble woman, Sherry will share stories from her multifaceted life. It’s a can’t-miss event that will inspire – and, quite possibly, astound – you.
Book number three in our library of recommended reads is So Big by Edna Ferber. Amazingly, the book celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2024, but its themes continue to resonate today. The 1925 Pulitzer Prize winner for fiction, was prescient in many ways, focusing on a woman who confronts the conventions of the time while framing herself within them, touching on motherhood, capitalism, class struggles, the desire for a better life and a longing for beauty and art.
