Each year, MCW confers this honour on a woman whose work represents an exceptional contribution to a designated field, as chosen by the Executive of the Council. In addition to excellence in her field, the recipient is recognized for her meaningful contributions to the community and for serving as a role model and source of inspiration to others.

At a time when artificial intelligence is evolving rapidly and reshaping how we learn, work, and live, MCW is especially pleased to recognize a leader whose work speaks directly to this moment. Indra Kubicek’s contributions to AI literacy, STEM education, youth engagement, and responsible digital citizenship reflect thoughtful, forward-looking leadership with real impact.

We look forward to celebrating this remarkable leader with you!

☑️ Your Voice Helps Shape MCW’s Events!

At the Montreal Council of Women, we want our events to work for our community. As our audience grows and schedules, commitments, and availability change from year to year, it’s important that we regularly check in to understand when our events are most accessible and convenient.
That’s why we’ve created a short Google scheduling poll to help us identify the days and times that work best for our community.

🗓️ Your input will help us:
• Plan future events around the availability of our audience
• Make our programming more accessible and inclusive
• Create opportunities for greater participation
• Better understand what works for our community today

We encourage you to select as many time slots as possible — even if you’re not certain you would attend every event. The more responses we receive, the clearer picture we’ll have when planning the year ahead.
💜 Your availability. Your voice. Your MCW.
👉 Take the anonymous poll: https://forms.gle/nihoJKkkDK6FxY9x6

Thank you for helping us shape the future of MCW programming!
