AAWO Youth in the Room. ❤️

AAWO “Motrat Qiriazi” was proud to be represented at the AANO Albanian-American Student Summit by Nora Noli, AAWO Head of Youth.

Nora had the opportunity to connect with Jona Babi, Product Leader at Google and graduate of Stanford University and Harvard Business School, and hear from accomplished Albanian professionals sharing their experiences and career journeys.

Creating opportunities for our youth to meet mentors, build connections, and learn from those who came before them is an important part of investing in the next generation.

Thank you to AANO for bringing our community together and creating these opportunities for our youth. ❤️
