Congratulations to our own Fatema Isa Ebrahim, Head of Action’s Manama-based office, for being named to the Board of Directors of the Bahrain Economic Development Board (EDB) by the HRH Crown Prince! Her appointment represents the youngest member ever to be nominated.

Fatema had this to say about the post, “I’m honoured to be part of the Bahrain Economic Development Board. We are now in a challenging yet exciting time where young leaders are contributing their efforts to diversify our economy. It’s a pleasure for me to be part of an inspiring environment and to be surrounded by smart and driven individuals that have transformed several sectors in Bahrain.

As Country Manager for the Action Bahrain office, Fatema is the driving force for the strategic development and implementation of communications for all of the agency’s local and international clientele.
