A plethora of diverse women gathered
from across the globe to the first annual Women Economic Forum in Goa India May
7th to May 11th 2015. Along with the hundreds of global delegates in attendance
were business leaders, corporate coaches, entrepreneurs, authors, iconic
actors, political stalwarts, policymakers, ambassadors and thought leaders from
all over the world. With the theme "Women: The Harbingers of
Change" a truly vibrant and creative atmosphere of discussion, debate and
millennial thoughts was fostered in the spirit of global sisterhood. Here’s
what people are saying about the Women Economic Forum.
“Congratulations
for organizing this historic forum in Goa. This was really a Herculean task of
gathering distinguished professional, experts and leaders from across the
Globe. It is most impressive that you were able to get together such an
illustrious group of renowned people from the different continents. The
discussions were rich, informative, thought provoking and worth more than endless
hours of reading. The BEAUTY of the forum was that everyone wanted to work with
each other and was eager to work for building trust and understanding. Thank
you so much for organizing the most exciting, stimulating and memorable
historic event. I must thank both of you for making the impossible possible.”

“My sincerest gratitude for everything! I don’t even know how or where
to start. I am still so overwhelmed with the event, that I feel like I still
have a WEF hangover. I did not just learn a lot, the friendships and
connections made with the other ladies are priceless. It’s like I have
broadened my horizon career-wise and made new friends along the way and not
just ordinary friends. The ALL ladies empower each other and are achievers in
their own rights. There was a good mix of personalities, backgrounds, cultures
and professions, that itself made an impact on my outlook in life.”

“I
attended a women’s networking luncheon on taking our work/businesses global and
met Ann Webb who is the All Ladies League Chair for Utah. She offered the
opportunity to go to India to the conference and participate. Easy choice! I
learned more in 4 days of being there than I could in a year of working at it
from the U.S. I will be there next year!”

working for women empowerment. I loved every moment of my presence at the Forum
in Goa and what I brought back from there is huge motivation, hope, optimism
and enthusiasm that we women, united, can make a massive difference in the
world. I could do something to transform the attitudes and mind-set of people

Women Economic Forum never did I think that ALL, Dr. Arora and the trip to
India will inspire me that much and change my perspective on many things. I am
very grateful for being part of ALL and part of the Forum. The Creative Living

leads to happiness and love. Thank You Harbeen for being such an inspiration to

happen.”
