JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA (ADV) – Three women in Seychelles have been recognised for their roles in societal development advocacy CEO Global.
CEO Global is an organization that leads business coaching opportunities for learning and development through peer group meetings led by experienced CEO group leaders.
During the event, Daniella Payet-Alis walked away with a ‘Lifetime Achiever’ award under the Pan African’s Most Influential Women in Business and Government programme, while Rosemary Elizabeth and Rosie Bistoquet scooped the country’s winners for the Welfare and Civil Society Organisation and Government Employment Official.
The Most Influential Women in Business and Government programme is aimed at inspiring and recognising women across the African continent. Through it women are provided with a platform to celebrate their achievements, while paying tribute to women who are consistently exercising a positive influence on the continent.
Payet-Alis was recognised as a lifetime achiever for her dedicated involvement in the tourism industry of Seychelles, an area she started working in at the age of 13.
“There is so much to share in this life, and there is so much still to be done, said Payet-Alis.
“I am hoping that this award is just the beginning and that it can help inspire others and the next generation to connect, to share, and to exchange in the region.”
Payet-Alis founded the Seychelles Sustainable Tourism Foundation (SSTF) which strives to make Seychelles an international best practice example for sustainable tourism through an integrated collaborative approach between public, the private sector, academia, and NGO.
Elizabeth has been involved for over 40 years in developing the civil society of Seychelles, working to empower women of the 115-island archipelago in the western Indian Ocean.
“Receiving the award goes to show that I am contributing quite a lot in the society especially when it comes to pushing women forward in life,” said Elizabeth.
On the other hand, Bistoquet manages over 100 individuals as a director at the Ministry of Health. She has been also the president of the Nurses Association of Seychelles (NARS) since 2016.
