Action Canada Fellow Among Country’s Top Future Leaders
’03 Action Canada Fellow Diana Juricevic is named in the 2007 Future Leaders category on the list of Canada’s Most Powerful Women: Top 100.
The list is compiled by the Women’s Executive Network to recognize the success of Canadian women in categories that include entrepreneurs, corporate executives, public-sector leaders, trailblazers, trendsetters and future leaders.
The future leaders category recognizes young women under 30 who have “distinguished themselves early in their careers and who show tremendous potential.”

She holds a master’s degree in economics as well as a law degree from the University of Toronto where she was president of the university’s chapter of Amnesty International. She was called to the bar in 2005.
During her student years she was involved in a number of humanitarian endeavours, including the Canadian Red Cross campaign to aid Kosovar refugees. She also conducted policy research for Médecins Sans Frontières.
Juricevic is also a commissioned artist. Her works have been published in several journals and also exhibited in museums and galleries.
