Dear Fellow Members,

First of all, I would like to congratulate you and the wider Syrian Business Community all over the world, who have supported and indeed implemented the formation of SIBA. From a small idea only a few months ago into an established organisation now, SIBA not only represents the dreams and aspirations of many, but also the will and the high drive that categorises Syrians throughout the diaspora. In SIBA, we hope to emulate the success and achievements attained by many of you in your respective fields.

SIBA is open to any person of Syrian ancestry and aims to create a united voice to represent you all. It is a non-political, not-for-profit organization that aims to empower its members to advance and better themselves through economic and social development in their communities. To do so, we hope to engage governments, international bodies and NGO’s, and development partners to achieve common sustainability goals that benefit all.

During our next phase of development we aim to reach out to all Syrian diaspora communities to bring them on board as members and to establish local chapters where we can serve them better and be closer to their requirements and needs.

If you haven’t joined already, I urge you to do so by filling out an application form and look forward to meeting you personally at one of our forthcoming events.

Samer M Chamsi-Pasha

Chairman
