Alicia Skalin, Co-CEO and Head of Events and Programming, Women of Influence Inc., congratulated the winners for their incredible achievements, and for inspiring future generations of female entrepreneurs. “The incredible growth of our program reflects the increasing number of successful women-owned businesses in our country and the growing diversity in industries across Canada. The 2018 winners have turned their personal passions—from art and fashion to development to medicine – into thriving businesses. They have earned the esteem of their peers and their communities and are truly paving the way for future female entrepreneurs.” explained Ms. Skalin.

Ms. Sukumar, was one of six recipients celebrated at this year’s awards gala on November 22nd, following a record-breaking 7,400 nominees from across the country. The Social Change award is dedicated to a female entrepreneur that is an exceptional leader of a registered charity or not-for-profit that is dedicated to social change. Applicants have garnered extraordinary support from the community by being champions for philanthropy and volunteerism in Canada.

“I thank Women of Influence and RBC for providing women like me a platform to shine,” said Ms. Sukumar. “An immigrant who set out to create a better life for women and children, without knowing how I was going to achieve it, I found MCIS Language Solutions, which served as an incredible platform to achieve my dream. If this award sheds light on the work that MCIS’ language professionals, board and staff do helping vulnerable women, children and all marginalized groups, receive access to critical information and services, in their own languages, then it would have served its purpose. This recognition means all the more at a time when basic rights are under siege, world over. I feel honoured and privileged to be part of an incredible class of warrior women, all of whom are blazing a trail for other young women to scale, with passion and hope.”
