The Lebanese Management Association (LMA) has started this year a new chapter in its activities called "Success Stories".

To date, LMA organized three such success stories offered by three leading businessmen, namely Mr. Raymond Audi, President of Bank Audi Saradar, Mr. Raphael Debbane, President of Debbane Group, and Mr. Nizar Choucair, Founder and President of Patchi SAL. The objective of this chapter is to expose MBA students in the different universities and others to the factors that made it possible for those successful leaders to make it up to the top of the organization.

The feedback for this and previous success stories were very much appreciated by the different audiences.

LMA continues to serve its community in the best possible way it can.
