✨ A milestone moment for MENA in Canada ✨Yesterday marked a defining chapter for the MENA ERG at McKesson Canada.What started as a vision has officially become reality: MENA is now the 6th Employee Resource Group in Mckesson Canada, and the way this moment came to life was truly special. From the energy on both campuses - GTA & Dobrin, to the meaningful conversations with colleagues, to the sense of belonging felt throughout the day, it was one of those moments you carry with you.On a personal note, after 2.5 years serving as National Vice‑Chair, I never imagined this journey would lead here.To witness MENA being the 6th ERG in Mckesson Canada, and to lead a launch that reflects empathy, inclusion, and connection, is something I’m deeply proud of.Being highlighted through internal stories across both Canada and the U.S. made this milestone even more meaningful, not for me, but for what it represents.This moment speaks volumes about McKesson’s culture, a company that listens, trusts its people, and creates space for communities to grow and lead.Grateful for:Our Executive Sponsor,Ramzi Koleilat for his continued support and leadership.The MENA Board and volunteers who brought this vision to life: Navdeep Kaur M Sandhu Sarah Al Ali, Mai Al Eryani, Dr. Ranim Algwaider, DLS, Ayman A.
