"BoardTalks" women leadership development program!

For my love of Women Empowerment I have coordinated, "BoardTalks" women leadership development program initiated by Pakistan Stock Exchange. Presently, like never before, the time has come to return to women leadership activities. These activities had a place and time. Huge numbers of these networks and occasions brought issues to light and perceivability of an undeniable and testing void inside the corporate division and business world at large. Event was attended by young girls, government officials, corporate women and academicians. 

Madam Shamshad Akhter first woman Governor of State Bank of Pakistan and Ms. Ameena Saiyid first Pakistani woman to be awarded the Order of the British Empire were the esteemed guest at the occasion.

This session was about the ins and outs of the esteemed guests. Let me share about these two amazing women of Pakistan.
