Volunteer Community City Lead

What is a City Lead?

City Leads champion the Canadian Women’s Network in their respective communities, using their superpowers to connect local female founders online and in person. City Leads believe in the power and importance of our women-led community of over 670 members and support our shared mission to help founders build locally and scale globally. 

Our 2023 focus is centered around driving impact for Canadian female-led startups. We hope that City Leads embrace a similar mantra. It’s not about helping founders inch along their journey, but instead, helping them move a mile.
