MMA MANAGEMENT CENTER
The Annual MMA Women Managers' Convention is a celebration of the spirit of women; and the many diverse roles women play. Each year the theme for the convention has revolved around the evolving roles and needs of women. The event creates a platform for women across different walks of life, to come together, share their thoughts, opinions, insights and experiences. What binds these women is the urge to excel in their respective fields, be it as business leaders, entrepreneurs, thinkers, artists or policymakers. The focus of the convention is to inspire and guide women to grow in every area of life.
