International Women’s Day is a time to reflect on the contributions women make to our society. Whether these contributions are within the community, their families, or their place of work, women play a very special role in the fabric of life.

Today, President and CEO Dr Abdullah Abonamah paid homage to the women of ADSM and UAE Academy. Women from across campus gathered together and were humbled by the generosity and kind words of the President who praised the women for the excellent work they do and for their contributions to the workplace. Dr Abdullah also spoke about how important women are in society and that each of us could name one significant woman who has impacted on us. He made special mention of his mother, and spoke of how influential she was in shaping his life. Everyone enjoyed their morning with a celebratory cake and each staff member received a single rose.
