CFA Society Bahrain and AUB collaborate in Women-led Mentorship Programme & Podcast

CFA Society Bahrain, in collaboration with Ahli United Bank, has launched a transformational mentorship programme entitled Qodwa. Initiated and chaired by Noorhan AlZann, CFA, FCII, board member of CFAB, Qodwa is run by an all-woman leadership team. Since inception, CFAB has brought a number of successful and highly popular events to the local community, supported by its alliance with the region's most prominent financial institutions. Qodwa is backed and sponsored by Ahli United Bank, whose collaboration has been invaluable for the success of the programme. Qodwa has gained an international foothold with its concurrent launches by the CFA Societies of Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and Ukraine. The programme is designed to pair members with suitable candidates to help them realise their full potential, all while ensuring the success of each individual in the pursuit of their academic and professional goals. Qodwa has also launched a podcast, the first episode of which has been released and made accessible to the wider public. It features one-on-one sessions with high-calibre speakers discussing mentorship, finance, leadership, and investments. It is currently available on Spotify and Deezer, and will soon be available on Apple Podcasts, YouTube, and Anghami, with two episodes released each month.
