Our WIE Karachi Hub was inaugurated with Hira Wajahat (Stimulus) as our first Karachi Chair, shortly joined by Umul Awan (IFC, World Bank Group).
To officially launch the WIE Islamabad Hub, we held a “Power Lunch” for women professionals to introduce themselves to each other, network and broaden their professional networks.
To officially launch the WIE Lahore Hub, we held a “Power Lunch” attended by 25 women professionals and hosted at the Energy Department, Government of Punjab. The event was chaired by Chairperson Punjab Commission on the Status of Women (PCSW) Fauzia Viqar and keynote speech by Managing-Director Punjab Power Development Board (PPDB).
WIE was formally launched on March 8, 2018.
