Albanian Professional Women Organization
The Albanian Professional Women organization was founded in 2020 by Betira Shahollari in response to feeling as though Albanian women's roles in the professional industry needed a new way to be expanded and encouraged.
The organization was launched with the purpose of creating an inspiring and supportive culture of Albanian professional women, empowering Albanian women to live purposeful and meaningful lives through their chosen careers, and creating opportunities for personal and professional growth.
From business, healthcare, engineering, to law, education, or entrepreneurship, one of the organization's goals is to bring together and unite Albanian women with different levels of experience working in various industries, in order to create a wide network of support and unity.
We believe in the power of community: "Behind every successful woman is a group of women who have her back." Alone, we can only do so much, but together, we can move mountains.
We believe that Empowered Women Empower Women. Being a member means you are part of something bigger than yourself; part of a growing community of Albanian Women creating a legacy of helping each other for generations to come.
Our Mission

We envision a world where Albanian women are educated, have opportunities, and exercise leadership; a world where Albanian women strive to reach their full potential, live their best lives, and thrive in their chosen careers; a world where Albanian women are the authors of their own stories
