#FHSWomenPower

As part of our commitment to championing gender diversity and empowering women in hospitality, FHS Saudi Arabia 2025 proudly introduces the FHSWomenPower Impact Leader Award—a first-of-its-kind initiative recognising outstanding Saudi national women shaping the future of the industry.

This award celebrates Saudi-national women who have demonstrated exceptional leadership, career growth, and industry impact. It highlights those who have broken barriers, led initiatives, mentored others, and driven meaningful change within their organisations and the wider hospitality sector.

By providing a dedicated platform for recognising female excellence, FHSWomenPower ensures that women’s contributions are visible, valued, and celebrated, furthering the mission of a more inclusive and progressive hospitality landscape in line with Saudi Vision 2030.

The criteria for this award is as follows:


The Candidate must:

  • Be a Saudi-national woman either working in Saudi Arabia or studying abroad with a clear commitment to contributing to the Kingdom’s hospitality sector.
  • Be actively working in hospitality (any department within the industry: operations, F&B, marketing, finance, HR)
  • Have demonstrated demonstrated career growth within their organisation or industry (e.g., promotions, leadership roles, increased responsibilities).
  • Must show a commitment to professional growth, leadership potential, and impact on their team, workplace, or industry (can be through mentoring, leading initiatives, driving change, or overcoming barriers.)

Nominate a Candidate

Deadline to apply: 21st April 2025.

The winner gets a complimentary pass to attend FHS Saudi Arabia 2025.
