Shear Power holds confab on partnership

SHEAR Power Ventures, a community advocacy group and organisers of the Portrait of an Excellent Woman Awards, would on April 8, this year organise a roundtable discussion aimed at “forging stronger and more rewarding partnerships between the business development, community and the government.”
The discussion are expected to centre on two thematic areas: Local Economic Development (LED) - maximising sustainable profits and on the ‘business’ social entrepreneurship - cutting edge perspective and implications for women.
In a letter signed by the CEO of the Shear Power Ventures, Mrs  Ewra Adwoa Buahema, and copied to the Daily Graphic, the company said that the private sector has over the years been perceived to make generous financial and other contributions towards showbiz and individuals.
“While this is good, it has become increasingly necessary that private sector expands its sponsorship horizons to capture and focus on the development exigencies of communities,” the statement added.
The statement added that the group’s numerous experience in sponsorships and investments of various initiatives would be brought to bear on the upcoming event “with invaluable insights from the LED sector”.
The event is expected to see Minister of Trade and Industry, Ms Hanna Tettey, and the Deputy Minster of Local Government and Rural Development, Mr Elvis Afriyie Ankrah, as guests of honours with the group CEO of Pentax Management Consulting Services, Mr Joe Apeah as the facilitator.
