According to Dr. Mrs. Irene Stella Agyenim-Boateng, Vice Chairman of the Public Services Commission, women leaders should be mentors for all women.

“Women leaders need to be able to tell their stories so that other women can be inspired by these stories and know that it is possible to get to the top and you can do that without using unorthodox means but can actually get there on merit”, she said.

She encouraged women not to be afraid to take up leadership positions but to believe in their abilities and train themselves to excel in roles they take up.

The CEO of SES HD PLUS Ghana, Adelaide Abbiw-Williams advised women not to be afraid to take up leadership roles in the technology space and also should avail themselves of learning opportunities to grow and develop themselves.

Fafa Gbeho, the Group Head of HR at Global Media Alliance advised women to be apprised of the labour laws that protect them in the workplace to ensure that they are not discriminated against because of their gender.

On her part, the Chief Director of Global Media Alliance, Emma Wenani remarked, "We are honored to have had such a meaningful and impactful event that celebrates the achievements of women and promotes a culture of inclusion.
