The Managing Director of the ECG, Samuel Dubik Mahama, who made the call, said the members of the club had a crucial role to play in the development of the country.
“Each of you has a role to play. This period is a good time to reflect upon the past, identify strengths and weaknesses and strategise for a better future,” he emphasised.
The congress was on the theme: “Innovate, Inspire, Impact, Sustaining the Legacy of the Empowered Queen.”
Leadership
In an address read on his behalf, Mr Mahama said for 35 years, the leadership of the club had spearheaded the welfare and empowerment of its members as significant contributors to the vision and mission of the ECG.
A board member of the ECG and Patron of the club, Maataa Opare, said she was filled with pride and admiration for the incredible women who continued to be the backbone of the company.
“No matter what you were employed to do, your contribution to the grand scheme of development of the company is not meagre. When you move the company feels it.
That is why you must occupy more spaces, lead more conversations and take advantage of every opportunity. Each of us here is an agent of change in our own right,” she said.

Dominance
The President of the Power Queens Club, Doreen-Carol Anning-Gyebi, said in a sector traditionally dominated by men, women’s presence had not only grown but flourished, adding that they had not only kept pace with change but led it.
She said the women had challenged the status quo, forged new paths and proved that the electricity sector was enriched by the diverse talents and perspectives that women brought.
“From a composition of 53 women in management positions in 2019, we have seen a growth to 72 in management positions in 2024,” she said.
The Director of Human Resources of the ECG, Cynthia Amartey, said members had a responsibility not just to themselves but every woman who aspired to rise, lead and to make a difference.
