Dubai, United Arab Emirates: – The Middle East Investor Relations Association (MEIRA) has appointed two new board directors who will support the MEIRA mission to champion best practice Investor Relations (IR), a strategic role that supports capital markets development in the Middle East.
Marwa Faisal Almaskati, Director of Marketing & Business Development at Bahrain Bourse, and Dalal AlDousari, Deputy General Manager – Investor Relations at Gulf Bank, will join the now 12-strong MEIRA Board of Directors.
“2020 has been a year of challenge and an enforced crucible for change and it has been no different for MEIRA. We have weathered the storm and we are even better prepared for storms to come due to some key weather-proofing, including adding new talent to our Board. An important part of the role of the Board of Directors is to lead by example, set the tone at the top and ensure that we remain shipshape across the whole organisation as we plan for a new year. At MEIRA, we take our responsibility as the region's professional body for Investor Relations very seriously and 2020 provided us with the opportunity to refresh and renew our leadership team. I am delighted to see the calibre of MEIRA come through in the Nomination Committee's slate of new directors. Together, we will continue to promote diversity and inclusion, while driving stakeholder value for all our members, partners and supporters, as MEIRA fulfils its mission to champion best practice as an integral part of capital markets development in the Middle East”, said Andrew Tarbuck, MEIRA Chair.
Peter Gotke, Chair of the Nomination Committee of MEIRA, added: “MEIRA has undergone much change in 2020, with changes in our Board of Directors part and parcel of our leadership process. We are fortunate to be able to turn to our membership, not least the Chapter leadership, and also to look outside the immediate MEIRA community for other perspectives. After our search, the Nomination Committee went to the Board of MEIRA with its short list and we are delighted to share the results of the Board's decision to add two new directors with immediate effect. These directors reflect the very best of MEIRA and we are confident that MEIRA will remain in capable hands as we move into 2021 and beyond”.
Together, the two new board directors represent a veritable cross-section of MEIRA and bring an exceptional track record in capital markets. Their IR, market experience and expertise will be instrumental to the continued growth of the association in future years.
