Furthermore, this move will be an important step that will enable the participants of our leadership development programs to become more attuned to the social concerns and issues affecting Dubai and the rest of the country."

It is very heart warming and reassuring to know that the participants of MBRCLD's leadership development programs, who are destined to be the future leaders of our society, are themselves strongly committed and actively involved in supporting socially relevant initiatives."
