Important to her role as Founder and CEO of PARO Centre for Women\u2019s Enterprise and co-founder of the national group, the Women\u2019s Economic Council (WEC) is supporting women who are disadvantaged by the intersectionality of poverty, race, sexism, ageism, and disability.<br><br>\n\nRosalind Lockyer is Treasurer for the International e-Rotary for Social Innovators, and the board director for Ontario on the Women\u2019s Enterprise Organizations of Canada board (WEOC), and a member of the Gender Equity Network of Canada. Through her work and community activity, she shares her experience and influence to mentor individuals and organizations to develop effective solutions and sustainable strategies. As a social entrepreneur, she has assisted the management of enterprises, whether non-profit, private business or professional sector organizations with fund development, strategic planning, organization management, and policy development, human resources, leadership, social enterprise, business development and public relations.<br><br>\n\nRecognized for her notable efforts in building PARO Centre for Women\u2019s Enterprise, working with diverse populations, especially those most challenged, such as Indigenous people, people with disabilities, seniors and youth at risk with particular emphasis on women, Rosalind was called \u201cone of the most remarkable social entrepreneurs in the world\u201d by the Office of Social Enterprise, MEDEI, Ontario government, and received the International Award for \u201cWomen of the Decade in Community Leadership\u201d, from the Women\u2019s Economic Forum 2018 in New Delhi, India.<br><br>\n\nIn 2021, Lakehead University awarded their highest honour &#8211; an Honorary Doctorate in Humane Letters to Rosalind for her work in the community, gender equity spaces and women-entered economic development.\n\n<br><br><strong>Email:

I recently led the successful implementation and completion of the Women\u2019s Economic Council (WEC)\u2019s project Her Mentors, a 2-year research project aimed at developing the economic security of racialized newcomer women in Canada. After running my small practice as a Registered Canadian Immigration Consultant, I pursued another master\u2019s degree in counselling psychology with Yorkville university leading to becoming a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying). I am honoured to be part of entrepreneur women\u2019s business start-up and growth, in my role with PARO.\u00a0<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-ca555c0 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"ca555c0\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-da15b85\" data-id=\"da15b85\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e7fc003 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"e7fc003\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" data-src=\"https:\/\/paro.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Joy-Idoko-headshot-300x300.png\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium lazyload\" alt=\"\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/paro.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Joy-Idoko-headshot-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/paro.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Joy-Idoko-headshot-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/paro.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Joy-Idoko-headshot-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/paro.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Joy-Idoko-headshot-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/paro.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Joy-Idoko-headshot-12x12.png 12w, https:\/\/paro.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Joy-Idoko-headshot-550x550.png 550w, https:\/\/paro.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Joy-Idoko-headshot.png 1080w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/300;\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d910cdc elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d910cdc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Joy Idoko<\/h4>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-08506c6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"08506c6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Prosper Coordinator<br>Manitoba<\/span>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9562d08 elementor-align-center elementor-icon-list--layout-traditional elementor-list-item-link-full_width elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon-list\" data-id=\"9562d08\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon-list.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"elementor-icon-list-items\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"mailto:prospermb@paro.ca\">\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-envelope\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\">prospermb@paro.ca<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-377a995 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"377a995\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\"><p>With 18 years of diverse work experience, my journey spans Project Management, financial services, Sales, and Administrative roles.

My area of expertise was Metabolic Energetic Nutrition and the impact of disease on the interface between energetic and immune cell function.\u00a0<\/p><p>I changed my career path when I reached a glass ceiling in the clinical research environment. I went back to school to study international development and worked in Haiti, Ghana, and Ethiopia, where incredible entrepreneurs inspired me in food security.<\/p><p>When I returned to Toronto, I started my company &#8211; Malty &amp; Hoppy Delicacy. We use beer from the best local breweries in Ontario to make delicious beer jellies and jams (coming soon) with a French twist. I went to business school again (Yedi &amp; York University, Schulich Business School) for a six-month program for small entrepreneurs.\u00a0<\/p><p>I also worked for the French consul in Toronto for four years (part-time job), where I developed my culinary skills and creativity with food to become a true chef.<\/p><p>I am an entrepreneur, a private chef, and a culinary educator. I am also a resilient person. Life has challenged me deeply over the past decade. I never give up.<\/p><p>I love exchanging ideas and finding solutions. I am also a great listener. My new challenge is working with PARO and helping women in their entrepreneurial journey.
