Black/African Employee Resource Group - Third Anniversary

Collaboration to Celebration

On Monday, September 25 from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m., we will gather (virtually) and celebrate three years of Humber's BA-ERG! This is an opportunity for us to imagine and look ahead to the paths we can create. We will also hear from some wonderful leaders in the Toronto community to inspire our work ahead.

The main guest speaker is Karla Avis-Birch, Chief Planning Officer, Metrolinx and joining her is Chenowa George, Lead Governance Committee of BEEAM (Black Employees ERG at Metrolinx).

Karla Avis-Birch, Chief Planning Officer, Metrolinx

Karla is a civil engineering graduate from Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU), and at Metrolinx is responsible for a team of more than 250 professionals who are at the front end of delivering on a regional transit mission of connecting communities by defining economic benefits of capital projects and ensuring that those benefits are brought to customers in a way that fosters transit choice, value, equity, and a recognition of the impact on communities and on the environment.

She is committed to being a champion for diversity and inclusion for the people she works with and for the people Metrolinx serves across the Region and especially proud of her role as Executive Sponsor of the Black Employee Experience At Metrolinx (BEEAM) ERG.

We hope to see you there.
