PERSONAL STATEMENT
What motivates you to serve on the WAGGGS World Board, and how would your experiences, skills, values, and perspective contribute to its governance, strategic leadership, and the global mission of the Movement?
I am honored to stand as a candidate for the World Board of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts at a time when strong governance, strategic clarity, and inclusive leadership are essential to advancing the Movement’s global impact.
My professional career is grounded in leading complex governance and operational systems within Kuwait’s national anti-doping framework, where I currently serve at executive level. I operate within highly regulated international environments that require independent judgment, policy development, stakeholder coordination, and strict adherence to global standards. My responsibilities include safeguarding integrity, ensuring accountability, and managing sensitive, high-stakes processes—experience that directly aligns with the governance and oversight role of a World Board member.
Alongside my professional responsibilities, I have over three decades of active involvement in the Girl Guiding movement. My contributions at national and regional levels have focused on strengthening leadership development, enhancing program quality, and promoting inclusive participation in decision-making spaces. I have been particularly committed to amplifying the voices of young women and supporting structures that ensure leadership pathways remain accessible and relevant across different life stages.
I bring a governance-focused, systems-oriented perspective, with the ability to navigate complexity, engage diverse stakeholders, and contribute to strategic decision-making at organizational level. I am motivated to support WAGGGS in strengthening institutional effectiveness, enhancing collaboration across regions, and ensuring responsiveness to the evolving needs of girls and young women globally.
As a World Board member, I would contribute with integrity, independence, and a strong commitment to accountability. I aim to support a Board culture that is strategic, inclusive, and forward-looking—ensuring that WAGGGS remains resilient, impactful, and sustainable for future generations.
