GCIV’s Annual Holiday Celebration!
December 8, 2016 at 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Please join us for the Georgia Council for International Visitors’ Annual Holiday Celebration!
At the reception, GCIV members will be able to enjoy a special guest talk by one of Saudi Arabia’s most prominent female entrepreneurs.
ย
Lujain Al Ubaid, founder of Tasamy for Social Entrepreneurship,ย became one of the first leaders to develop the infrastructure for social entrepreneurship in Saudi Arabia, and moreover, to create some of the terminology associated with the field in Arabic.
Her organization focuses on finding sustainable solutions to social problems by encouraging and empowering youth, community leaders, as well as private and governmental institutions to achieve social entrepreneurship in the Gulf region.
Drawing on her experiences in Saudi Arabia, India, and elsewhere, Lujain Al Ubaid will highlight her journey to creating Tasamy in her talk.ย She will look at ways in which youth in Saudi Arabia can be helped along the path to creative entrepreneurship and volunteerism through online incubation and incentivizing – and her prominent role in doing so as the founder of one of the few social entrepreneurship organizations.
