Tyndale University is grateful for the generosity of the Greater Toronto Area Contact Centre Association (GTACC), which raised more than $13,000 through its annual Women in Leadership (WIL) Conference, held March 6 at Tyndale.
Founded in 2002, GTACC is a non-profit knowledge exchange, think tank and networking association with industry, government and service-provider representation. A strong part of the association’s vision is the desire to give back to the communities it serves. Since 2010, GTACC events have helped support various causes, such as the Toronto Fire Fighters Toy Drive and the Daily Bread Food Bank, as well as various smaller charities.
This donation will go towards the creation of six $2,000 bursaries for women leaders studying at Tyndale.

“Tyndale University is so very grateful for the support of the GTACC. Their vision of holding their conference on Tyndale’s campus as a way to support students is a creative and meaningful way that directly assists students,” says Kevin Kirk, Tyndale’s Sr. Vice President, External Relations. “Not only were the conference attendees blessed, so many students will be blessed as a result of their generosity.”
The WIL conference attracted more than a hundred participants to Tyndale, with many more joining in online. They were welcomed by Harriet Thornhill, Tyndale’s Chancellor.
“When I became Chancellor at Tyndale University I had the opportunity to introduce Sangeeta Bhatnagar, GTACC Board Chair, to the distinctive approach to education at Tyndale,” says Chancellor Thornhill. “Sangeeta and the GTACC’s generosity in creating a way to support students is meaningful, and a wonderful example of how many individuals and organizations can come together to assist Tyndale students.”
