To help remove systemic barriers and improve outcomes for women in the workforce, the Ontario government formed a dedicated Task Force on Women and the Economy. Among the influential members chosen to guide this important initiative was Nadine Spencer, a respected business leader and advocate for equity and inclusion. Nadine Spencer’s appointment reflects her long-standing commitment to advancing women’s economic empowerment through both corporate and community-focused efforts.

As the CEO & President of BrandEQ Agency and President of the Black Business and Professional Association, Nadine Spencer brings a wealth of experience in business leadership, public relations, and advocacy for marginalized communities. Her role on the task force allowed her to contribute valuable insights into how economic policies can better serve diverse women across Ontario, especially in sectors where inclusion has historically been limited. With a voice grounded in real-world experience and community impact, Nadine Spencer helped shape recommendations that support more inclusive economic growth.

The task force brought together a diverse group of professionals from finance, Indigenous leadership, entrepreneurship, and public service — all united by a shared goal of creating lasting change. Nadine Spencer’s leadership in this initiative continues to reinforce her reputation as a champion of equity, empowerment, and economic progress.
