CEO Clubs Network pledges 1,000 bricks
Al Muthanna urges top executives to contribute to non-profit Pakistan Medical Centre
Pitching in with 1,000 bricks for the Pakistan Association Dubai’s (PAD) new medical centre being built in Oud Metha, CEO Clubs Network has pledged its support to the association’s ‘Own A Brick’ initiative.
The largest business networking club in the world with a presence in 20 countries with more than 16,000 elite CEOs and top executives as members worldwide, CEO Clubs Network took part in a recent campaign event of PAD.
Speaking at the event, Dr Omar Al Muthanna, CEO of Community Development Authority, urged social organisations to step up their efforts in fulfilling their responsibility towards people. “Committed clubs are those who will create an impact in the community of Dubai,” said Al Muthanna, asserting the engagement of people through multiple programmes.
Beefing up the campaign for the upcoming non-profit Pakistan Medical Centre, Al Muthanna addressed an audience of more than 200 diverse nationalities at the Pakistan Auditorium last week.
The event, ‘CEO’s Legacy’, was a collaborative effort by Pakistan Association Dubai and CEO Clubs Network.
It raised awareness among CEOs of various corporations to leave a legacy through their corporate social responsibility for the first community health care facility in the GCC.
When it is completed next year, the not-for-profit Pakistan Medical Centre will remain open to all nationalities.
“The challenge is not to construct the medical centre but to sustain it. We need support and strength from individuals and corporates who believe in giving back to the community,” said Dr Faisel Ikram, president of PAD.
The Own A Brick initiative encourages community members to take ownership through a brick worth Dh1,000 and become a member of PAD for 10 years.
