Ways of L.I.B.A.N.
L.I.B.A.N.'s Network
Creating a major economic force through the solidarity of all its members solely united by their national feelings, as fellow Lebanese compatriots regardless of their religious creeds and political affiliations.
Supporting the young Lebanese immigrants in finding jobs and establishing businesses.
Ways and means to realize these goals.
1-Building a Lebanese Structure:
The association is composed of committees representing countries of the world. In fact, we started composing committees along with the embassies and we hope to reach soon all of them.
2-Establishing Committees Abroad:
Each committee based in Lebanon as soon as it is formed will start forming a parallel foreign committee abroad.
The foreign committee is composed of the Lebanese Ambassador as honorary president and of the leading young and dynamic businessmen of Lebanese origin and as guest members young foreign businessmen representing the major business families of every country.
The local committees in coordination with their counterpart abroad will try to develop economic and business relations between Lebanon and the country they represent and will have to coordinate with the particular foreign embassy in Lebanon and with the Lebanese embassy in that country.
3-Interacting with Similar Organizations Worldwide:
L.I.B.A.N. is getting in touch with organizations similar and comparable to ours such as Y.B.A. "Young Businessmen Association" worldwide in order to enlarge their activities and for its members to meet and interact with foreign businessmen at the top level, all united by the same spirit of collaboration.
