The BOST energies Ladies Association (BOSTLA), the corporate women’s arm of BOST Energies Limited Company, has successfully concluded its landmark 10th Anniversary celebrations, marking ten years of driving 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 served as a flagship gathering for gratitude, reflection and renewed commitment.
Highlights of the Celebrations

The session unpacked critical conversations around workforce equality, career sustainability and strategies for mentoring 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: Organized in partnership with Nestlé Ghana, the festivities featured an intense 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 on the judging panel, the collaborative event showcased remarkable culinary talent and staff unity.
Thanksgiving & Anniversary Durbar: Honoring its journey, BOSTLA hosted a grand Thanksgiving & Durbar Ceremony at the BOSTenergies Head Office. The ceremony was graced by Ms. Shamima Muslim, Deputy Presidential Spokesperson, who delivered a powerful keynote address centered on workplace gender equity, policy frameworks that champion the cause of women and the systemic advancements needed to ensure equal opportunity. Ms. Linda Ampah attended as a Special Guest and delivered an inspiring message, encouraging members to embrace leadership and personal development. Adding rich traditional color and heritage to the occasion, the durbar featured Nii Kofi Otuadan III and the Ga Delegation, who delivered an uplifting cultural message amidst 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 culminated in a stunning Black-Tie Gala on September 5th. 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 of pioneer founders, past executives and current leaders; including BOSTLA President Beatrice Amofa Boateng; who have steered the Association’s growth.
Throughout the closing ceremonies, the Executive Committee and entire membership of BOSTLA expressed deep appreciation to the Managing Director, Mr. Afetsi Awoonor. Without the MD’s steadfast endorsement and commitement to workplace equity and organizational 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 backing:
“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 vigor, setting new benchmarks for female corporate leadership in Ghana.
