Our Vision

IBC2019

During a lounge talk session, BA Alumni Josephine Mankfu Talla, shared the stage with HBS’ CEO Dan Miodownik, who underlined the importance of finding new talents in the industry and nurturing them: “Empower the people who are starting a career: this is where we should be investing. Find the people, build their stories, and help create role models for all to be inspired by.”

Laura McDonald & Concacaf Live Direction Training

Laura attended the Live Direction course given by Concacaf in 2018. The courses have broadened her repertoire and opened directing football up as an avenue she never imagined taking in her career.
