The New Category is Called “Outstanding Business Woman of the Year”
The Institute of Asian Businesses (IAB) has introduced a new category for women in business to its annual awards this year.
Now in its 27th year, the event plays a major part in the IAB business agenda and nominations have now been shortlisted for the new category of Outstanding Business Woman of the Year.
Saqib Bhatti, President of the IAB, said the executive committee had decided to introduce the new category because they felt that “there are some outstanding women who work tirelessly to promote entrepreneurialism amongst women”.
He added: “They act as role models and are working hard to break down any gender-based barriers for women entering or moving ahead in the business arena.”
“This new award is an example of the Institute of Asian Businesses’ on-going commitment to identifying, promoting, supporting and celebrating those women who go the extra-mile in leading the way and showing other women that success in business is not dependent on the gender of the individual but is based on hard work, commitment and vision.”
