WOB Turkey Graduation Ceremony

Celebrations were held at the "Graduation Ceremony" event of the third term (2018-2019) of the "More Women on Boards" Project, Cross-Companies Mentoring and Independent Board Member Certificate Program, supported by the European Union Local NGO's Grant Program, and stakeholders came together.

In her opening speech, WOB Turkey President Hande Yaşargil said: “The graduation of WOB Turkey Mentoring and Certification Program means running the first hundred meters of a marathon for us. Until now, with our mentors and training, we have supported the knowledge, experience and vision of female executives who can be Board Member in companies.

Journalist and producer Tuluhan Tekelioğlu, who was the moderator of the ceremony, drew attention to the current data on this subject. She stated that the most fundamental difference which she observed in the business world is "Achievement is a need for men and a desire for women." She also emphasized that WOB Turkey has made a quite significant point by making success, not a desire for women but a necessity.
