The ‘She’s an Entrepreneur’ program provides a valuable platform for knowledge sharing between successful businesswomen and the bank’s employees. By fostering awareness of women’s leadership potential, we hope to inspire participants to reach their full capabilities and make significant contributions to the financial and economic sectors."

Ms. Tubaishat also acknowledged the efforts of the Jordan Forum for Business and Professional Women in promoting the role of Jordanian women in economic and social development.
