Join us for a powerful conversation with Roselle Gonsalves, PhD, Head of Inclusion & Reconciliation at ATB Financial, whose work is reshaping how organizations engage with equity, belonging, and Indigenous reconciliation.

A transformational leader, storyteller, and bridge-builder, Roselle brings over 15 years of experience across social services, consulting, and post-secondary education. At ATB, she leads systemic efforts to embed inclusion and socio-economic reconciliation into the heart of corporate culture. Her academic depth—anchored by a PhD from the University of Calgary—explores immigrant identity, Canadian multiculturalism, and intersectionality, offering a rich lens on the complexities of belonging.

Beyond the boardroom, Roselle’s leadership extends to sport and civic life: she serves on the Board of Governors at Curling Canada, represents Canada at the World Curling Federation, and advises Boston College’s Centre for Corporate Citizenship. Named one of Edmonton’s Top 40 Under 40, she’s also the author of the Amazon bestseller The Ordinary Turned Precious: A Quest for Belonging.

This session is more than a talk—it’s an invitation to reflect, connect, and reimagine leadership through the lens of inclusion and reconciliation. Don’t miss it!
