Olgoonik Global Security signs Women Achieve

The AmCham Abu Dhabi Women in Business Committee is proud to announce Olgoonik Global Security as a signatory of WOMEN ACHIEVE, an innovative program which promotes the professional advancement of women. WOMEN ACHIEVE was developed by AmCham Abu Dhabi’s Women in Business Committee to encourage companies and organizations to offer women more opportunities to advance to positions of greater responsibility and leadership. The Olgoonik Corporation is an Alaska Native-owned village corporation established under the terms of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act of 1971.  Located in Wainwright, Alaska along the coast of the Chukchi Sea, the Corporation is owned by more than 1,100 Alaska Native shareholders, almost half of whom live in the community. Janice Phillips, General Manager, Olgoonik Global Security, said, “On behalf of Olgoonik Global Security, we are honored to be apart of such a professional, positive program such as ‘Women Achieve’.  We have about 50% women on our UAE team and I look forward to encouraging them to become leaders in our community.  I have always been an advocate of creating a fair and supportive environment for all to grow and succeed.” “We believe that initiatives such as WOMEN ACHIEVE set AmCham Abu Dhabi apart by demonstrating our desire and commitment not only to promote commercial ties between the US and UAE, but also to promote positive changes in the marketplace which will serve the interests of our members and the communities in which they operate.” said Gregory Golden, Chairman of AmCham Abu Dhabi.
