Launching of "Women in the Boardroom" Initiative
On its 10th year anniversary, LLWB seeks to push women empowerment further in Lebanon by launching its "Women in the Boardroom" Initiative. Through this initiative, LLWB will be taking active steps to help women in breaking the glass ceiling and reaching top-level managerial positions. The initiative includes a campaign consisting of gathering business signatories who will commit reaching 30% female representation on their Boards of Directors by 2025. Key signatories will publicly voice their support during the event, by signing a "Call for Action".
LLWB's 10-year anniversary event will also serve to achieve the following objectives:
- Rally support among businesses for committing to increase the number of women on boards by 30% by 2025
- Launch LLWB'S plans for the upcoming five years
- Raise awareness on the issue of women on board and the benefits of women inclusion in the Lebanese business community
- Provide partners and organizations of similar goals with a forum to consider and advance issues of mutual interest and concern
