(Toronto, ON) – hEr VOLUTION is thrilled to welcome the support of Index Exchange as a silver sponsor for the 2nd annual Canadian Women in STEM Conference; Breaking Down Barriers: Unleashing the Power of Inclusion.
Index Exchange was founded to address a market need for a fully transparent ad exchange, as such, it is an engineering company at heart. While continuing to invest in its technology and its people, Index Exchange respects and develops every employee.
“There’s been a lot of discourse about women’s experiences in STEM, but rarely does that conversation include fields like Technical Writing; I’m glad we’re starting to see a shift in that regard,” says Julie Palmer, Manager of Documentation at Index Exchange (and a speaker at the Breaking Down Barriers conference). “Ultimately, the more open and honest dialogues we have about the challenges women are facing across the board in STEM, the closer we’ll get to improving the workplace for everyone.”
Based in Toronto, Canada, hEr VOLUTION is the go-to place for youth, particularly young women from underserved communities to come to in order to advance in 21st Century Skills. We exist to create opportunities for the next generation of women in STEM connecting them with leaders in the industry for career support. We listen to the needs of the community and that of the STEM industry to better help the next generation of underserved youth, with a focus on young women to enter STEM.
“In times like today, when we see the work that has been done by women before us who broke barriers in the workforce we realize the importance of the essential conversations around today’s women’s issues. The media is currently showing us that we still haven’t achieved equality hence why discussions about inclusion and diversity are so important.
We are extremely grateful that Index Exchange recognizes this important moment in time by inspiring girls to embrace STEM careers as such, we look forward to having Julie Palmer sit on the STEM Panel at our 2nd Annual Canadian Women in STEM Conference to discuss inclusivity in STEM fields, especially her essential work at Index Exchange which we know the audience will find both relevant and innovative at the same time.” says Doina Oncel, Founder and CEO of hEr VOLUTION.
hEr VOLUTION is looking forward to making further impact in STEM fields, particularly to promote STEM-related activities and career options to young women and girls from the underserved communities from Ontario.
