Harpswell Leadership Summit in Malaysia is offering an exclusive chance to young women leaders to join hands with other women in the ASEAN countries to address problems of their region. For the first time, Harpswell ASEAN Women’s Leadership Summit will be organized in a hybrid form including both virtual and in-person sessions. This new approach will make the program more effective. The summit will result in developing professional relationships and leadership growth among participants.

The online leadership program will begin in May with 2 virtual sessions during which participants will get to know the Harpswell team as well as introduce their professional work. In June- August, the program will organize virtual learning sessions twice every month where a team of experts will discuss about the situation of ASEAN region. Participants will make small groups and have an online meeting once a month to work on resolving a mutual regional problem.

One week in-person fully funded leadership program in Malaysia will be held in September so leaders can explore and collaborate with fellow participants. The iHarpswell Summit is designed as a combination of site tours, workshops, lectures, seminars and group activities. The program trainers will include renowned professionals from education, business, and community development in Southeast Asia and beyond.
