The L’azurde Group sponsored the awards ceremony for Arab Saudi women, which was held for the second time in the Kingdom and was organized by the ITP publishing company. The event was held in the Faisaliah Hotel in Riyadh recently. L’azurde’s role as an active patron of this event this year arises from a belief in the importance of the role of Arab and Saudi women across society and their valued contribution across economic, social and cultural sectors.

Mai Al-Othim represented L’azurde at this event presenting an award in recognition of skilled and talented women in their fields of expertise, in the hope that they will become role models for other women.

Selim Chidiac, L’azurde’s CEO, commented: “It is a matter of great pride for us to participate in sponsoring this 2015 awards ceremony for Arab women. L’azurde has always aspired to strengthen the presence of Arab and Saudi women across the societies of Arab nations. I would like to affirm that these talented, creative and far-sighted women represent an inspiration and model for future generations of Saudi women. We in L’azurde have associations with a long list of talented women from across the Arab world and we are great believers in the benefits to be had from their creative mind.”

Chidiac added: “I believe that this awards ceremony for Arab women is the ideal forum for women from different walks of life to exchange ideas, expertise and experience; in order to widen the horizons for young and innovative women and recognize their achievements."

L’azurde’s efforts to promote the role of Saudi women have given rise to a work force which includes 250 female Saudi employees, fulfilling critical roles for the company in Saudi Arabia.
