Nadine Sookermany, a professor at the School of Social and Community Services, received a King Charles III Coronation medal for her decades-long commitment to supporting women and gender-diverse people through her leadership in the non-profit sector.
For over three decades, Nadine has been a champion of equity and inclusion as a leader in gender justice and service organizations, including the Women's Health Clinic and Fife House, and in her current role as the CEO of the Ontario HIV Treatment Network.
She is a faculty member in the Child and Youth Care and Social Service Worker programs. In her nearly 20 years at George Brown, she has also taught in the Assaulted Women and Children's Counsellor/Advocate, and Community Worker programs.
Nadine was nominated for the honour by the Canadian Women's Foundation.
"I am honoured to receive the King Charles III Coronation Medal in acknowledgment of my lifelong commitment to gender equity. This is especially important to me as I witness the myriad of ways HIV continues to impact women and gender-diverse people across Ontario," she said. "I accept this honour in memory of my mother, a justice seeker and fierce advocate of women's access to health, who paved the way for me and so many others."
Congratulations to Nadine and GBC's other King Charles III Coronation Medal recipients!
