About LLMC
As a leader in our community, the Diversity and Inclusion team is calling on you to join the Lifting as you Lead Mentoring Circles (LLMC) program. The LLMC program is an initiative grounded in the 2020/2021 Deputy Minister Commitments on Diversity and Inclusion and strives to build on the Clerk’s Call to Action to better support leadership development toward addressing anti-racism, equity, and inclusion in the federal public service. Through this lens, the LLMC program provides you with an innovative space and opportunity to actively partake in making your workplace inclusive.
This ten-week program, consisting of five required Circle sessions and five optional Masterclasses, is an opportunity to network and learn more about what you, as an individual, can do to move the federal public service towards a more inclusive and diverse environment.
