This month, Executive features a special section on the Young Arab Leaders (YAL) organization. The YAL brings together professional men and women in the Arab world, all under the age of 45, to give back to society by undertaking initiatives that address current concerns in the region. YAL engages in activities to alleviate poverty, train and educate youth and push for trade reform. Other initiatives include facilitating dialogue between the Arab world and the United States and Europe, and improving the corporate and business environment.

As part of Executive’s special partnership with the YAL, this magazine chose to be among the sponsors of this year’s Young Arab Leaders Annual Forum, to show its commitment to YAL’s noble cause.
The conference will taking place in Beirut from Friday, May 1 to Sunday, May 3. The three day forum, titled, “Creating Impact Within and Beyond: the Way Forward,” is being held at the Habtoor Grand Hotel.
Executive is proud to support this forum, which will bring together YAL members to identify the issues and concerns they want to address in the upcoming year, and then to develop focused initiatives to tackle and make progress on these matters.
Executive believes YAL’s objectives are especially important elements in addressing the rapidly changing corporate and business climate in the region and adapting to the challenges of the future.
