Last chance to register for Women in Mortgage Summit Canada
The rest of the programme is equally direct. A power panel titled “What’s Actually Happening in This Market” will bring together Sherry Cooper, chief economist at Dominion Lending Centres, alongside Michele Steko, vice president of national broker relations at Sherwood Mortgage Group in Canada, to cut through current noise about tariffs, rate uncertainty, and buyer hesitation.
The session is designed around one question: what are the women winning in this market actually doing differently?
Those looking for practical tools rather than broad strategy will find them in the AI workshop panel. Titled “AI, In Practice: Real Mortgage Workflows, Honest Results,” the session is designed to cut through the noise surrounding artificial intelligence and deliver practical, field-tested guidance to mortgage brokers and lending professionals across Canada.
At #WomenInMortgageCA Summit 2026, Rola Dagher will share her remarkable journey from Bell’s telemarketing department to global leadership roles at Cisco Canada and Dell Technologies.

A programme built for the whole business lifecycle
The afternoon sessions are structured around the decisions that define whether a mortgage business grows or plateaus. A fireside chat on sustainable growth and succession planning — featuring Zamina Walji, who leads growth businesses at EQ Bank in Canada, and Sabeena Bubber, a mortgage broker at Xeva Mortgage in British Columbia — tackles the structures and habits that create long-term business value.
The conversation will address succession planning, navigating ownership transitions, and the financial resilience that insulates businesses through major disruption.
