Organisation (NGO), has called on corporate Ghana to support the second edition
of Women in Sports Association (WISA) Achievers Awards, fixed for Saturday 29th

Speaking to her in an interview with the GNA

the aim of addressing issues relating to
women in sports and to encourage more participation of women in the field.
She said this year’s Achievers Awards is
slated for 29th September, 2018 and 26 women have been tipped for recognition
and honours from disciplines within the sports fraternity.
Madam Commodore commended Ghandour Cosmetics
Limited for coming on board as the major sponsor for this year and appealed for
more sponsors from corporate Ghana to help support and promote their
activities.
“We want to show everyone that WISA need
help to grow but, they can only develop when more people and organizations come
onboard to support, she stressed”.
She said, women who decide to go into sporting
activities must be encouraged as they were many opportunities in sports, such
as scholarships to further education.
Prior to the big event would be a media launch
on August 29th.
She hinted that there would be a Health and
Fitness Walk through the principal streets of Accra on 29th September.
According to Madam Commodore, there were plans
to groom more women in sports to climb higher on the international sports
ladder in sports administration, management and coaching.
