Launched in December 2007 under the auspices of Her Highness Sheikha Mozah Bint Nasser Al Misnad, the QBWA-which is a partnership comprising QCCI, the Qatari Business Women Forum (QBWF), and Qatar Shell- aims to identify and pay tribute to Qatari women that contribute to Qatar's society and economy through their significant professional or entrepreneurial achievements.

The award will focus on women who have demonstrated outstanding leadership and managerial qualities in their fields.

The purpose of the QBWA workshops is to acquaint participants with the application process and the selection criteria for the award.

The lectures put emphasis on the importance of the criteria that the participants need to demonstrate in applying for the QBWA, such as their business, professional & career achievements, leadership qualities, ability to coach, and their contributions to the greater community,

Mrs Judith Barton, Director of The Development Partnership who lectures candidates in English said 'I was very impressed with the caliber of the ladies who attended the first workshop. We had highly motivated participants from such diverse fields as banking and advertising to governmental and medical institutions as well as business owners - all of whom are extremely keen to participate in the award scheme.'

With close to 50 Qatari women attending the first workshop, Mrs. Eman Ghafan Al Basti, board member of the QBWF said 'The QBWA is a great opportunity for successful female entrepreneurs and Qatari professionals to gain a platform in business, and it is encouraging to see so many women attended the workshop and are keen to make a difference to Qatari society. I'm sure this time round we will have more than 50 participants sit in on the lectures.'

The deadline for QBWA applications is 5 October 2008.
