Gender Equity Consultation Program
The goal of this program is to offer comprehensive gender equity consulting services to help organizations successfully and efficiently implement gender equity policies and practices.
ProMOTION Plus maintains working relationships with a network of gender equity specialists in British Columbia. Organizations seeking assistance or expertise in the field of gender equity will be able to locate a consultant through the ProMOTION Plus network. In a sense, ProMOTION Plus will act as a “one-stop resource” for anyone requiring expertise in the area of gender equity.
ProMOTION Plus will connect organizations with consultants to ensure that anyone seeking assistance with gender equity policy development or implementation will have access to highly qualified experts.
