OBA SAGDA PROGRAM | 5:00 PM to 8:30 PM

PROGRAM IS CANCELLED

What does it mean to be "authentic" in the legal workplace? How much of your diverse, complicated self do you bring to your work life and relationships? Join us to hear from our panelists from across legal practice as they share their experiences - including struggles, triumphs, and calls to action - in their journey to strike the right balance and remain true to their authentic self.   

PROGRAM Chair

Ashley Moniz, Toronto Metropolitan University

SPEAKERS

Alex Blanchard, Associate General Counsel, Thomson Reuters
Natalie Bravo, Corporate Counsel, Harbor Global, LLC   
Lotus Menezes, Independent

Following the panel discussion, join your colleagues and friends for our annual SAGDA Winter Social.

Get ready to celebrate with colleagues, friends and allies in the 2SLGBTQ+ community! 

As the year winds down, we’re bringing the queer legal community together for an evening of connection, conversation, and cheer. Enjoy great food and drinks in a warm and welcoming atmosphere.  

Whether you’re new to the profession, well established, or somewhere in between, this event offers a relaxed space to foster meaningful relationships, spark new collaborations and expand your professional network with colleagues who value diversity, inclusion, and authentic community building.
