RICHARDSON WEALTH PARTNERS WITH WOMEN'S EXECUTIVE NETWORK BY SPONSORING PRESTIGIOUS WOMEN OF COURAGE AWARD
TORONTO, Feb. 2, 2022 /CNW/ - Richardson Wealth Limited (Richardson Wealth), a wholly owned subsidiary of RF Capital Group Inc. (TSX: RCG) (RF Capital), is honoured to join forces with Women's Executive Network by sponsoring the 2022 and 2023 Women of Courage Award. This award is presented to extraordinary women who champion our country and its values across a diverse range of causes, with courage and compassion, even if it means risking their careers, reputations and, sometimes, their lives.
"For Richardson Wealth, this is reflective of our cultural values that began with Muriel Sprague Richardson, an exceptional woman of courage," says Kish Kapoor, President and CEO, RF Capital Inc. "Muriel became the fifth President of James Richardson & Sons Limited in 1939 and demonstrated remarkable bravery during times of adversity and difficulty. Her legacy continues to inspire us to advocate fiercely for the advancement of women."
Past recipients of Women of Courage award include The Honourable Rona Ambrose, Nathalie Fagan, Lieutenant Colonel Tania Maurice, Chief Petty Officer First Class Alena Mondelli, Samra Zafar and in memoriam, Captain Jenn Casey, Sub-Lieutenant Abbigail Cowbrough and Constable Heidi Stevenson.
"We are proud to partner with like-minded companies such as Richardson Wealth that demonstrate a profound commitment to empowering women and creating diverse and inclusive work environments," says Sherri Stevens, owner and CEO, Women's Executive Network.
"Richardson Wealth is attracting strong, talented women because they are seeing that we recognize the immense value of diverse perspectives and experiences," says Lynne Brejak, SVP, Chief People Officer. "With our alignment to the Women's Executive Network's Diversity Council through this meaningful sponsorship, we will continue to redefine what it means to be courageous; and in doing so, we will attract even more women to our incredible company."
Richardson Wealth expects its advisor population will be 50% female within five years, a massive undertaking in a male-dominated industry. Within the last year, the firm added several women to senior leadership positions and to its board of directors.
