- Phoenix-Mesa, AZ (1888PressRelease) August 16, 2012 - Abalos & Associates, PLLC (http://www.abaloscpa.com), has announced that Sandy Abalos, CPA, managing partner, attended the Institute for Economic Empowerment of Women (IEEW)'s PEACE THROUGH BUSINESS® graduation ceremony in Washington, D.C., on July 23-24. IEEW is committed to empowering women to grow their businesses, pursue greater entrepreneurial ventures and become active public policy advocates. The PEACE THROUGH BUSINESS® program provides education, mentorship and coaching to women entrepreneurs from Afghanistan and Rwanda, with the understanding that economically stable societies have a much greater capacity for peace. Abalos, a member of the IEEW board of directors, was joined at the graduation ceremony by Afghan Ambassador Eklil Ahmand Hakimi, Rwandan Ambassador James Kimonyo and U.S. Ambassador-At-Large for Global Women's Issues Melanne Verveer.
The 6th annual graduation gala marked the completion of the three-week PEACE THROUGH BUSINESS® program. During the program, 25 women from Afghanistan and Rwanda were paired with American businesswomen who worked in similar fields to attend seminars and review business strategies. Women were trained to not only become stronger business leaders, but also become public policy influencers in their home countries.
QUOTES:
"As American businesswomen, we often take our success and ability to influence others for granted. These courageous women from Afghanistan and Rwanda are heroes for aspiring entrepreneurs everywhere," said Abalos. "Through IEEW and PEACE THROUGH BUSINESS®, we hope to equip the next generation of women leaders to thrive, even in the most difficult of environments."
