During its 13th Ordinary General Meeting, Turkish Enterprise and Business Confederation (TURKONFED) elected the new administration. Orhan Turan was elected as the new President of TURKONFED. President Turan stated that they will embrace the “5K” vision and work for a TURKONFED that is corporate (kurumsal), inclusive(kapsayıcı), global (küresel), focusing more on SMEs(KOBİ) and women(kadın). The number of TURKONFED female Board Members have doubled in the current administration.
Orhan Turan remarked: “As an NGO that advocates for women’s effective participation in decision-making processes, I would like to state that we have taken a small, but an important step by increasing women’s representation in our board 100%. However, we also know that this is not enough. At this point, we will accelerate this first step and while we spread women’s representation, we will also increase women’s effective participation in all spheres of life, from economy to politics”.
