Ghana: BOSTLA Celebrates A Decade Of Excellence: A Landmark 10th Anniversary Milestone

The BOSTenergies Ladies Association (BOSTLA), the corporate women’s arm of BOST Energies Limited, has successfully concluded its landmark 10th Anniversary celebrations, marking ten years of advancing female empowerment, workplace advocacy, community impact, and corporate excellence.

Officially launched on August 10, 2026, and culminating in a grand Gala Night on September 5, 2026, the multi-event celebration was held under the theme, “A Decade of Excellence: Honouring the Foundation, Inspiring the Next Generation.”

Bringing together members, past and present, the milestone celebration served as a flagship gathering for gratitude, reflection, and a renewed commitment to the Association’s mission.

Interactive Panel Discussion

Deepening the intellectual engagement of the anniversary programme, a high-level panel discussion was held featuring the Patrons and Matrons of the Association. The session explored critical issues surrounding workplace equality, career sustainability, and strategies for mentoring and preparing the next generation.

Side Hustle Display

Empowering members beyond their corporate roles, a dedicated exhibition provided a platform for BOSTLA members to showcase and market their entrepreneurial ventures, artisanal products, and personal business projects.

Corporate Food Bazaar & Inter-Departmental Culinary Showdown

Organised in partnership with Nestlé Ghana, the festivities featured an engaging cooking competition designed to foster teamwork, healthy living, and camaraderie across BOSTenergies departments.

Supported by industry experts from Hausa Cuisine and celebrity judge Hon. James Gardiner, the competition showcased remarkable culinary talent while promoting staff unity and collaboration.

Thanksgiving & Anniversary Durbar

Honouring its journey, BOSTLA hosted a grand Thanksgiving and Anniversary Durbar Ceremony at the BOSTenergies Head Office.

The ceremony was graced by Ms. Shamima Muslim, Deputy Presidential Spokesperson, who delivered a powerful keynote address centred on workplace gender equity, policy frameworks that champion the cause of women, and the systemic advancements needed to ensure equal opportunities.

Ms. Linda Ampah attended as a Special Guest and delivered an inspiring message, encouraging members to embrace leadership and personal development.

Adding rich traditional colour and heritage to the occasion, the durbar featured Nii Kofi Otuadan III and the Ga Delegation, who delivered an uplifting cultural message amid vibrant traditional performances.

Demonstrating strong inter-corporate sisterhood and unity across the energy sector, solidarity messages were delivered at the durbar by sister associations, including PELA (Petroleum Commission), Power Queens (ECG), NAPET Ladies (NPA), and GAS Ladies (Ghana Gas).

Grand Black-Tie Gala Dinner

The anniversary celebrations culminated in a stunning Black-Tie Gala on September 5, 2026.

Beginning with red-carpet glamour and welcome cocktails, the evening featured instrumental music, a high-energy comedy interlude, a documentary screening titled “BOSTLA: Celebrating 10 Years of Impact,” and the Association’s legacy project drive.

A central moment of the Gala was the presentation of Citations of Honour, celebrating the vision and contributions of the pioneer founders, past executives, and current leaders who have steered the Association’s growth, including BOSTLA President Beatrice Amofa Boateng.

Throughout the closing ceremonies, the Executive Committee and entire membership of BOSTLA expressed their deep appreciation to the Managing Director, Mr. Afetsi Awoonor. Without the MD’s steadfast endorsement and commitment to workplace equity and organisational excellence, a celebration of this magnitude and impact would not have been possible.

In her keynote address, BOSTLA President Beatrice Amofa Boateng dedicated a major portion of her speech to acknowledging the Managing Director’s transformative support:

“This decade has proven what happens when corporate women unite with a shared purpose and enjoy strong backing from our Managing Director. His support has not only powered these anniversary events but has permanently elevated the stature of women across BOSTenergies. As we celebrate our foundation tonight, we stand on a solid launchpad to inspire and pave the path for the next generation,” remarked Boateng.

With ten years of impactful advocacy, professional development, workplace equity, and community impact now recorded in its history books, BOSTLA enters its second decade with renewed vigour, setting new benchmarks for female corporate leadership in Ghana.
