OWN YOUR CAREER
MARCH 8, 2024
OWN Your Career is our flagship mentorship and networking event that brings together students, alumnae, faculty, and legal professionals and gives attendees the opportunity to connect with peers and mentors from a variety of practice areas.
OWN Your Career is also an opportunity to uplift distinguished members of the legal community. Each year OWN invites a Keynote Speaker to share their journey and offer insights into navigating legal practice. This year, our Keynote Speaker is Ena Chadha.
An important aspect of OWN Your Career is community engagement. OWN partners with a community organization to raise awareness about social and legal issues affecting women-identifying members of our community and raises funds to support them in their efforts. This year, our Charity Partner is Elizabeth Fry Toronto.
​
OWN will distribute two awards at OWN Your Career. The Sabrina Shillingford Diversity and Inclusion Award and The OWN Mentorship Award. These awards are an opportunity to further OWN’s commitment to our principles of diversity and inclusion and the empowerment of membership and to acknowledge and celebrate the contributions of our members.
