Early in November, the first NAWIC Chapter in Qatar will be officially launched. It’s the first professional association of its kind in the Middle East, and NAWIC NZ has been actively supporting its development.

Billie Teshich is the NAWIC Qatar President and a former NZ member of NAWIC. She believes launching NAWIC in Qatar is a game changer for the Middle East.

“We want to build a community that every woman in our industry, local and expat, can be a part of,” she explains. “This is about bringing professionally-connected, like-minded women from all backgrounds together and helping each and every one of them get the support and development they need to thrive in the industry.”
