It’s been a tough year for all of us, and we’re grateful for those on the frontline that have kept our communities safe and supported. We’ll never forget 2020 and the impact it has on so many. We’ve created the Cisco Canada Fund, including 10 national charities doing great work in this country.

Get ready! Get set! Go! Planning is well underway for Women of Impact (WOI) 2021! This year’s event will take place virtually the second week of March to coincide with International Women’s Day. Mark your calendars for a global event kick-off with Gerri Elliott and the Women of Cisco Executive Sponsors, Rachel Barger (Americas), Wendy Mars (EMEAR) and Vicki Batka (APJC) on March 9th and 10th via Cisco TV depending on your time zone. This year’s theme is Rise. Shine. Thrive. No matter who you are, 2020 was a very challenging year. Women of Cisco is a community that supports each other. And Women of Impact will do just that! We want you to feel inspired and motivated to: Rise up and chart your future Shine bright and follow your dreams Thrive now by embracing your power
