Sandra Perron
Sandra Perron was Canada’s first female infantry officer, and the first woman member of the Royal 22e Régiment, the legendary “Van Doos.” She is now a senior partner with A New Dynamic Enterprise Inc. After serving in the military, she specialized in advanced quality engineering with General Motors and Bombardier Aerospace, then rounded out her skills with trauma-informed practices, neuro-linguistic programming, and mind mapping techniques, all of which have made her a unique and popular keynote speaker. She has chaired the Minister of Defence’s Advisory Board on Employment Equity and has consistently served in one capacity or another on boards of governors, focus groups, or committees to help promote and mentor women in non-traditional fields. She is the founder and president of the Imagine Project, a non-profit organization mentoring an orphanage in Boma, Tanzania.
