Doha: Qatar Professional Women Network (QPWN) celebrated its five year anniversary at the new Melia Hotel recently. The evening started with a delightful fashion show provided by Jo Lamode and Trinity Talent Qatar with the models weaving through the tables to show off the beautiful dresses and abayahs.
Karen Kennaby, Leader of Qatar Professional Women’s Network and host for the evening welcomed everyone and invited them all to focus on their dreams for the evening and the forthcoming years before passing the stage to Maryam Al Subaiey, founder of Q Talent and Qatar Together.
Maryam spoke with inspirational clarity and passion about the need for a dream to be turned into a vision and in turn for a lot of focussed hard work (and a lot of day dreaming) to go on to bring it to life.
A first for QPWN was the presentation of the QPWN and Bio-Oil 2015 Dream Award for Women which had three categories: A woman who has brought her dream to fruition in the last 5 years – which was won by Rachel Ann Morris who works professionally at Hamad Medical Corporation and has also created one of the most popular blogs in Qatar – Life on the Wedge; A woman who is just bringing her dream to fruition – and the winner was Amal Al-Shammari founder of Embrace Doha; and a woman who’s dream is selflessly focussed on others – which was won by humanitarian Margarita Zuniga who was also one of QPWNs founding members.
While the awards were sponsored by Doha Drug Store, other sponsors included Diva Lounge Spa, Lydia Shaw Photography, and Beracah Cakes.
