We are working with many entities already, like the NCLW (National Commission for Lebanese Women.) Our aim is to join forces to consolidate efforts that are being duplicated.
We have new members joining us on daily basis and our organization has grown rapidly in the last few years. Furthermore, the caliber of our members has risen as well. They are highly motivated women well educated women from different industries. One of our lessons learned is that that we need to upgrade our services to cater to them.
They have developed exponentially over the past years, with a very obvious thirst for information. And in order for us to stay ahead of our game, we need to expand out network and bring in new ways to push them either further.
