She said, “The (BAR) retreat is very important to our organization as a strategy for creating stronger bonds and increasing enthusiasm and motivation.

“This retreat will also create a platform for our colleagues to learn and unlearn, as well as to rally around the issues and opportunities facing organizations in our industry worldwide.”

Mrs Abaziuwa said the organization decided to use Paris because it is central to the different locations of members who live in other countries all around the globe.
