== '''Founders' Message''' ==
<big>“Thank you” doesn’t feel like enough to describe how happy we are, for you to have made the commitment to join the Lifting as you Lead Mentoring Circles program , organized by the Diversity and Inclusion Office, Materiel Group, National Defence, and open to all Federal Public Service members and members of the Canadian Armed Forces.</big>
<big>What began as a simple idea from our consultations has grown into a thriving network, addressing the desire for meaningful networking and professional growth.</big>
<big>'''There’s Power in People Coming Together'''</big>
<big>You're now part of a diverse network of inclusive-minded leaders, assigned to a circle—a small, trusted group for goal achievement in a safe space. This circle will facilitate learning from others' experiences and diverse perspectives, expanding your knowledge and tactical skills.</big>
<big>LLMC offers a unique opportunity for sponsorship, especially for deserving equity groups. Sponsorship is an intentional relationship where influential individuals advocate for career advancement and barrier removal.</big>
<big>By actively engaging with your circle, sharing experiences, and fostering connections, you'll unlock personal and professional growth opportunities. This knowledge empowers you to advance in your career.</big>
<big>'''The Time to Act is Now!'''</big>
<big>Thank you for answering the Call to Action, committing to creating a psychologically safer workplace for all, especially those from deserving equity groups.</big>
<big>We hope you will feel a real and fundamental shift throughout the program. And together we will celebrate all the hard work you put into this experience. Thank you for showing up for yourself, your family, your organization and the community you’re called to serve.</big>
<big>Going forward, take advantage of all the networking that will take place, meet new LLMC members in GCmessage and on LinkedIn, and lean into the Masterclasses. Choose to stay consistent with that next level version of you. We are rooting for you.</big>
