SBWC launches new online initiatives

The Sharjah Business Women Council (SBWC), an affiliate of the Nama Women Advancement Establishment, has announced the launch of three new online initiatives to continue upskilling UAE businesswomen.
The Council has introduced #SBWCEntrepreneursTips, #SBWCReads and #SBWCDictionary to further its holistic approach of supporting female-owned and led businesses in Sharjah, the UAE and beyond, with the three platforms serving as a source of new business information and best practices in the rapidly changing market scenario, a nexus for the sharing of ideas and learning from fellow members, and finally, helping them utilise their free time to learn, gain business knowledge and develop a well-rounded approach to their professions.
The SBWC will make these remote learning and upskilling activities available across all its social media platforms, allowing members to connect and share on a regular basis in an active and vibrant ecosystem.  
Sheikha Hind Majid Al Qasimi, chairperson of SBWC, said: "These initiatives launched by SBWC furthers our commitment to sharing knowledge and providing solutions that best support women in business, no matter what the circumstances. Inspired by the vision of our founder and patron, Her Highness Sheikha Jawaher Bint Mohammed Al Qasimi, wife of the Ruler of Sharjah, we have chosen to turn this challenging time period of social distancing as a wonderful opportunity for our members to learn, engage, ideate and innovate, so they can come out of this crisis stronger and better equipped to grow their businesses than ever before."
She added: "We have seen how technology and social media have literally held the world together in the past few months; kept us informed, kept us connected with our families and friends, enabled us to continue our jobs and support our businesses from home, and most importantly, kept our conversations and interactions alive through a very challenging period of physical distancing. These three platforms, in addition to the more obvious value they bring to the plate, are in effect, SBWC's endeavour to reinforce and foster human-to-human connect and shared development."
