What's On

While we are constantly on the run to make progress in our careers, relationships and personal matters, we should find time to express gratitude to people around us who have helped us every step of the way, and to support good causes to strengthen the community.

Joining us on 20 April for a panel discussion will be three philanthropy leaders in Hong Kong, namely Alia Eyres, Chief Executive Officer of Mother's Choice; Josephine Leung, Executive Director of The Hub Hong Kong, and Shalini Mahtani, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of The Zubin Foundation. Moderated by Nikki Ng, Chairman of the Women Executives Club, members will hear first-hand about the experiences and journeys of these outstanding leaders into the philanthropy space, where they focus on specialised and important areas of charitable work.

Mark your calendar for this exclusive panel discussion brought to you by the Women Executives Club, and come join us and learn about how you can make a positive impact on the community too. A small act of goodwill can go a long way.
