From Data to Action: Advancing Corporate Governance in Albania

On 12 October, Women on Boards Albania (WOB-AL) brought together institutional, business, and development representatives for a policy roundtable following the presentation of the WOB-AL Index 2026 Baseline Report, covering 282 Albanian companies.

The discussion highlighted three priorities for action:

🔹 Modernizing the Corporate Governance Code to strengthen governance standards and gender diversity.

🔹 Building board and executive competencies through targeted education and training.

🔹 Improving transparency and non-financial reporting, particularly on board composition.

These insights will shape WOB-AL's policy recommendations to relevant institutions, turning research and dialogue into actionable proposals.

Thank you to all participants for their valuable contributions!

Meet the inaugural ALBA Sprint cohort. ✨

A milestone worth celebrating - the women who completed the first ALBA Sprint Program, bringing their experience, perspectives and ambition to conversations around board governance, fiduciary responsibility and strategic leadership.

The certificate marks the completion of ALBA, but also the beginning of what comes next: more women ready to contribute, challenge, lead and bring their voices to the boardroom.

Congratulations to our first ALBA cohort. We are proud to have you as part of the growing WOB-AL community. 💜

A special thank you to our expert trainers Vrioni, Mimoza Kaci and Entela Memishaj, and to our guest speakers Ines Pöschel, Grant Van Cleve and Erjola Vejzati, for sharing their expertise, experience and perspectives with our first cohort.

And thank you to everyone who contributed to making the first ALBA Sprint a reality.

ALBA Sprint is part of the WOB-AL project, supported by a Grant from the Center for International Private Enterprise (CIPE) in Washington, D.C.

Day One of ALBA Sprint.

A full day of learning, exchange and real boardroom conversations.

From board governance in Albania and the Albanian legal framework to board dynamics, fiduciary duties, director liability, financial performance and investment decisions we explored what effective governance looks like both in law and in practice.

Expert perspectives, real experiences and meaningful connections around the table.

ALBA Sprint is not a general leadership course. It is built around the responsibilities and decisions that come with serving on a board. Across six sessions, participants explore how boards work, fiduciary duties and liability, financial performance and investment decisions, board dynamics, digital governance, AI and cyber risk, and the strategic challenges facing tomorrow’s boards. It is three days of focused learning, discussion and practitioner perspective in the Albanian governance context.
