QWN - Queen's Women's Network (Formerly YWQ - Young Women at Queen's) is an Employee Resource Group that prides itself on being non-hierarchical and inclusive of our members and the Queen's community.
QWN is open on a voluntary basis to Queen's affiliates who self-identify as women; although our group is predominantly staff, we also welcome students, faculty, grad students, post-docs, etc.
What is an ERG?
Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) are voluntary, staff led groups within an organization that focus on the common goals/values of the group. They centre around the employees and aim to foster inclusivity and diversity within the organization.
Mission: Engaging and empowering diverse leaders
Current vision statements:
- QWN is a self-governed community promoting growth and leadership through a decentralized model
- QWN challenges stereotypes and advocates for realized change through the creation of a community where diverse voices are heard and valued
- QWN creates a welcoming space that forges connections, builds knowledge, and expands spheres of influence among its membership
- QWN aims to amplify women’s voices and encourage development of all marginalized groups across campus
We recognize that we have members with a vast array of talents. QWN pursues new projects through the creation of committees. These committees are open for any member to join and are collaborative in nature. This no pressure approach allows members to participate as much or as little as they can manage.
