BLC awarded for supporting women’s empowerment

The BLC bank received the Lifetime Achievement Award granted by the Global Banking Alliance for Women (GBA) in recognition of its effective contribution to women’s economic empowerment. The GBA is an international NGO embracing some 35 leading world banks and financial institutions, noting that BLC is the first bank in the MENA region to join the Alliance. The latter, to recall, has trained over 60 banks across the globe to develop programs targeting women, and has previously chosen the Lebanese bank as one of its leading trainers considering its successive accomplishments since acceding the GBA. The CEO of GBA, Inex Murray, handed BLC chair Nadim Qassar, the award at a dinner held in London on November 15. Qassar on the occasion thanked the Alliance for its trust and reviewed his bank’s experience in training and provision of expertise and mentoring to interested banks. He said the award and the naming of the assistant general director, Tania Msallam, to head the Alliance, reflects the bank’s commitment to supporting women in the labor market.
