ULTRA-Corporate Events, a nonprofit, non- governmental organisation, will host for the third year running an event called “I AM A BOSS” at the Arthur Chung Convention Centre on June 28.

The event’s objective is to inspire, empower and encourage entrepreneurs and persons in business that may need a boost in developing and crafting the skills in their skilled area as they glean strength from others in the profession.

According to project coordinator Ruth Johnson, the idea behind the chosen wording of the event is not to suggest that one being a boss is not being bossy, in the sense of manipulation and control, but it is to communicate the concept of garnering strength in a specific field of skill, or a project that is assigned to the individual.

This year’s theme is “Empower to impact,” and is open up to men who might be struggling in the area of self-confidence.

The event this year will feature some dynamic speakers including Dr Rosh Khan, the President of Franklin Convey and Master Class Institute and Social Rank Media.

Kamal Persaud, a public figure, politician and Philanthropist and Lilowatie Napal, a breast cancer activist and humanitarian.

Johnson further explained that the inclusivity of men became a reality in the second year, since there was the realization that men needed to be a part of the event and gain strength to sharpen their skills.

This award ceremony is aimed at recognising persons who have played a great role in society but have over the years gone unrecognised.
