The Association is the first and only organization of its kind to provide services, support and networking on behalf of LGBTQ+ existing and aspiring Board Members. The Association’s Members include top-tier LGBTQ+ professionals with the skills and expertise to make a difference in the Boardroom.

Our Research Report, independently prepared by the Institute for Gender and the Economy at the University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management, found only 9 board members who publicly identified as members of the LGBTQ+ community (7 in 2022, which was 0.15% of all board members that year). This figure is notably low, given StatCan’s estimation of 4.4% of Canadians identifying as LGBTQ+ (with IPSOS estimating 9%). The actual count might be higher, considering some individuals may opt not to disclose their identity publicly.

LGBTQ+ Corporate Directors Canada Association is affiliated with the global Association of LGBTQ+ Corporate Directors and the Australian LGBTQ+ Board & Executive Inclusion organizations.
