Director of Diversity and Inclusion at The Winnipeg Chamber of Commerce - she/her

Sanjana Vijayann is the Director of Diversity and Inclusion at The Winnipeg Chamber of Commerce and uses she/her pronouns.

Her education is in Economics and Political studies. This, coupled with lived experience as a newcomer to Canada and years working in non-profits, she is particularly interested in understanding why inequities exist, the systemic barriers that exist, and what we can do to create a more equitable world. Through her work creating and implementing diversity, equity and inclusion strategies and programming, she seeks to question, reimagine, and redesign systems and practices around us to create a culture that welcomes everyone. With experience working with national organizations focused on advocating for health equity, Sanjana has a deep commitment to driving progress toward reproductive justice and health equity and is excited to join the Board at the Women's Health Clinic.

With her current role at The Chamber, Sanjana works to provide the Winnipeg business community with the resources and guidance they need to become more resilient, and ‘future proof’ while championing diversity, equity, and inclusion.
