The event aims to celebrate the virtues of women and pay tribute to maternal love, to promote positive family values and to provide a platform through which one can show gratitude and appreciation towards women and motherhood. The inaugurating press conference held today at City of Dreams Macau was co-hosted by Mr. Lawrence Ho, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Melco; and Ms. Lam Yuen Mui, President of Women’s General Association of Macau. Other inaugurating guests who welcomed approximately 300 guests to the event included senior executives from Melco and senior members of the Women’s General Association of Macau.

Mr. Lawrence Ho, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Melco Resorts & Entertainment, said, “Initiatives for women continue to be an important pillar of Melco’s Corporate Social Responsibility.

We are pleased to be co-organizing the event together with the Women’s General Association of Macau.”

Ms. Iong Weng Ian, Vice Chairwoman of The Women’s General Association of Macau, said, “The Women’s General Association of Macau has been dedicated to ‘caring for women and children, and serving the community’ since its establishment 69 years ago. In recent years, we have implemented various initiatives designed to support women and their families. Through this event, we hope to encourage mothers to continue playing a unique and vital role within the home; and to raise awareness of women’s needs through promoting a family-friendly culture in society.”
