About Us

Minerva BC is a Vancouver-based non-profit dedicated to advancing the leadership of women and girls.

The face of leadership is changing, but it’s not changing fast enough. Women are still underrepresented in business and community leadership roles in British Columbia and beyond. For over two decades, we have helped women across British Columbia expand their capacities through education, mentorship and leadership training. We envision a world where all women and girls have the opportunity and confidence to lead.

We also support the business community, and wider community as we work together to break down implicit and institutional biases and replace them with attitudes and systems that are supportive to women's achievement. Since 2015, we’ve been tracking the representation of women in leadership positions through our Face of Leadership™ BC Scorecard. Together with our Diversity Pledge, and full suite of initiatives, we’ve become a trusted source of truth and partnership for the BC business community. In doing so, we’re helping to raise the bar on leadership, making it stronger and more inclusive.
