On September 17, 2025, Women+Power proudly hosted our 4th Annual Gala Luncheon in Calgary. This sold-out event brought together nearly 350 leaders from Alberta’s power and energy sector to celebrate women’s leadership and the importance of diversity, collaboration, and authenticity in shaping the future of energy.

We were honoured to welcome Nancy C. Southern, Chair & CEO of ATCO Ltd. and Executive Chair of Canadian Utilities Limited, as our distinguished guest speaker. In a thought-provoking and personal conversation moderated by Marie Rajic, Senior Vice President of Corporate Affairs at ENMAX, Nancy shared insights from her leadership journey that inspired everyone in the room.

Her reflections on authenticity, courage, and diversity deeply resonated with attendees and set the tone for a powerful afternoon of connection and inspiration. Nancy also spoke about the power of diversity in driving innovation and growth.

💡 Key Takeaways from Nancy’s Reflections:

• Regulators, governments, and industry must work together toward the common goal of growing economic prosperity for Alberta and Canada.
• Exceptional leaders surround themselves with individuals whose talents surpass their own.
• Great leaders cultivate openness and welcome differing viewpoints.
