Noora - Aurora50's women's network logo (transparent)

NOORA is the new space where career women can connect.

It has two chapters:

  1. a lobby for first-time managers
  2. a mezzanine for established leaders

Corporate organisations can buy membership for a dozen – or dozens – of high-potential women in their ranks.

If you are a woman interested in buying NOORA membership for yourself, the doors will be opening soon. 

Learn | Develop | Rise

NOORA will give its members access to a real-world community of like-minded and ambitious executive women, who are on their wavelength and their level.

It will offer four annual face-to-face workshops on career developments, delivered by inspiring speakers, as well as regular opportunities to network in person.

Members of NOORA will have a space in which to:

learn from the best

consider their career development

find their community

rise up from within
