Coinciding with the International Day for Women in Business, Bank of Valletta has signed an agreement with the Malta Association of Women in Business, confirming its support as the official sponsor and banker of the association.

The agreement was signed by Elvia George, executive head responsible for finance at Bank of Valletta, and Rosanne Galea, president of the Malta Association of Women in Business. It also incorporates a package of added value benefits that Bank of Valletta is making available to the members of the association.

Ms George explained that an important pillar of the bank’s community programme focused on business strategic alliances under which BOV sought to support those organisations that played an important role in coordinating the efforts of entrepreneurs and business organisations.

Founded in 1991, the Malta Association of Women in Business set out to promote an environment for women to grow and develop in their business and profession. A year later the association became a full and active member of FCEM (Les Femmes Chefs d'Entreprises Mondiales), which has representative status at the United Nations, the Council of Europe and the European Parliament, among others.
