2007 PTB Graduate and newly elected Afghan Chamber of Commerce Industry's Dir. of Membership, Qandi Amaki with the Afghan Chamber of Commerce

Congratulations to Qandi Amaki (Jan), who was just elected as the Afghan Chamber of Commerce Industry’s Director of Membership. Amaki, a 2007 inaugural PTB graduate, made history when she was first elected to this body because she was the only women ever allowed in. Now, she holds a higher position and credits IEEW’s work. “All of this success is a result of the PEACE THROUGH BUSINESS training …that provided me knowledge of professional consultation and public policy advocating,” said Amaki. “Before PTB training, I only had an interest in advocating for women but no one knew who I was.” Amaki says this position will allow her to actively encourage women to participate in micro-business actions in their society.
