Are your hiring practices truly accessible? In today’s competitive and diverse talent landscape, ensuring your recruitment process is inclusive isn’t just the right thing to do—it’s a strategic advantage.

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn, share, and take actionable steps towards making talent acquisition accessible for everyone!


About the Speaker
Inez Ashworth (she/her/hers) is a cultural innovator, a powerful influencer, a dynamic leader, and a trusted advocate. In grade school, she was the one standing up to the bully, making friends with the new kid, and confidently wearing orange and red together. She still does.

Not much has changed—her unique style and dedication to equality, social justice, and inclusive environments remain central to her life and career. For Inez, true leadership means empowering people to be their authentic selves and helping organizations keep employees inspired and engaged.

Before focusing on Inclusion and Belonging, Inez spent over a decade in recruitment, gaining a deep understanding of hiring systems, the candidate experience, and access barriers. That insight continues to guide her inclusive, people-centered work today.

Her energy comes from community work, volunteering, and mentoring. She serves on several Inclusion, Diversity, and Belonging councils, and partners with post-secondary institutions to support minority students at risk of dropping out.

Inez counts herself lucky to be following her dreams, doing the work she was meant to do. She brings creativity, energy, and passion to every project and proudly lives on Treaty 7 territory.


Lionel Migrino is a proven community leader and inclusion facilitator. He graduated with a Bachelor of Management degree from the University of Lethbridge, majoring in Human Resources and Labour Relations. Lionel has supported Peoples Programs and Accessibility initiatives throughout his career.

Lionel always brings his lived experience as a Filipino- Canadian living with cerebral palsy to the forefront to promote accessibility, diversity, inclusivity, equity, and justice. He enjoys speaking on social issues such as mental health, disability rights, and anti-racism. Lionel is a confident public speaker with experience facilitating inclusion training in a not-for-profit and corporate setting.

He also has experience presenting stories to groups as large as 500 and doing interviews for local news media outlets. His goal in life is not only to spread awareness of IDEA but to empower action towards change.
