As the world prepares to celebrate International Women’s Day globally this month, one of Ghana’s leading total beverage businesses, Guinness Ghana, is leading the charge with the Obaasima regional campus tours organised in collaboration with Obaasima Summit Foundation.
The regional tours kick started in the Greater Accra Region last Friday at the R.S. Amegashie Hall, University of Ghana Business School in Accra.
This year’s edition of the campus tour is expected to be held on the campuses of some key universities across five regions, with the aim of building consensus around women empowerment and the progressive portrayal of women.
The Obaasima Summit campus tours are aimed at empowering women on the need to uphold the tenets of teamwork, networking, excellence in public speaking, interviews and imbibing positive attributes while celebrating the success stories of women all over the country.
The 2022 edition of the Guinness Ghana Obaasima Summit is themed “Progressive Portrayal: Building Capacity For Elevation.”
Speaking to the media, Director of Corporate Relations at Guinness Ghana, Sylvia Owusu-Ankomah, pointed out that the tours represented a healthy way of connecting with different categories of women for immense impact.
“Guinness Ghana’s focus for partnering the Obaasima Summit is to ensure the message of progressive portrayal reaches every corner of the country. Every woman must understand their strength and the tools available to them to explore and impact the world with it.”
“As a business, we are committed to providing and ensuring we have 50% representation of women in leadership roles and using our creative and media space to support progressive voices. We are fully committed to attracting and retaining the best and most diverse talent within our workforce. Opportunities like the campus tours allow us to show women across the country what happen when a progressive business supports women,” she intimated.
The initiative, organised by the Obaasima Summit Foundation and Guinness Ghana Breweries PLC, is designed to equip female students with the requisite skill set to pursue their dreams in any preferred aspect of life.
