Thanks to our partners from Hillcrest Baptist Church- Pensacola, Florida who supported us during the conference and have been faithful to support the Network for many years. As an extra treat, the team pampered the ladies with hand massages.

 

 

In 2011, the Arab Woman Today Department (AWT) launched a special contest for Networkers who are attending the conference, called the Award of Influence where the participant presents her achievements on the spiritual or community level, sharing the impact of her work, especially after receiving training during her leadership journey. This contest encourages many women trainees to review their practical and spiritual lives, the matter which generates self-motivation in their sphere of work.

 

“Thanks for your fervent love. You sowed mighty things in our lives.

You are outstanding.” Award Winner – Maria from Sudan

 

ACCTS-AWT aimed through this conference to encourage women to adopt integrity as a holistic walk that has to be followed in every aspect of one’s life. Besides, women are given practical support, as in counseling, materials and prayer. Participants are being followed up through Facebook, WhatsApp, and via emails.

 

 

Moreover, it is aspired that Arab women trainees, who are being empowered and trained, demonstrate greater personal capacity for influence within their respective home-country groups which they lead. In the hope that these influenced trainees will in their turn take steps to inspire and impact other women within their respective spheres of influence.

 

“I can follow up my work with new tools.

Thank you for the intelligent selection of conference topics”

It’s how our Annual Network Conference provides Arab women leaders with the motivation, knowledge, and skills that would empower them to become more qualified as leaders and impact other women in their sphere of influence.
