On one hand, it's definitely an honor to be chosen for such a prestigious role, but on the other, I see it as a challenge to follow the footsteps of the past Presidents, who have done such a commendable job with extraordinary hard work towards the development of entrepreneurial culture in the capital.
I am committed to trying to continue as well as improve upon the existing programs, including the Networking Events, Special Interest Groups, Annual Events, with an aim to ensure that this platform for entrepreneurs and professionals to connect, networks, collaborate, mentor, and support each other is always there, exceeding everyone's expectation in terms of quality and value.
It will also be my endeavor to further strengthen the organization in terms of finances, permanent team, and enhanced relationships with other stakeholders including organizations with similar objectives, Investors, International Financial Institutions, and Government. The purpose of doing this all is to create value for the community in general and members in particular.
