Dear Asmaa
I was delighted to learn of your participation in the upcoming regional elections.
Having known and worked with you whilst in public office under the Ministry of Transport, I have no doubt that you will continue to provide exceptional service to your people and inspire women throughout Morocco and beyond to achieve great things.
Your commitment for the betterment of your country and its people has been the guiding theme in your work irrespective of your political position. I believe it is this selfless quality and your desire to project Morocco internationally through your highly cooperative approach to foreign companies and investors that makes you an ideal national public servant; and one that deserves an opportunity to harness the power of the people to deliver a mandate of further development and prosperity for the Casablanca region and beyond.
I wish you immense luck in your political ambitions and endorse your candidacy. I look forward to collaborating with you in the future.
Bonne chance!!!

Asmaa is a huge asset to our community and she is so deserving recognition because her leadership in addressing and raising awareness about gender equality issues in the sea related activities at the national and international level, made her a great representative of WISTA in many events where she was invited as speaker.

Asmaa, WIMA Africa Vice President in charge of Arab countries, is a great global networker, dependable, efficient and very ambitious person that makes gender equality advancement one of her top priorities.
Her participation in the International Maritime Organization (IMO) Technical Committee meeting in London in October 2016 was a real added value for WIMA AFRICA advocacy team coming from many African countries.

I have known and worked with Asmaa during 2013 when she was the first Moroccan elected for the position of International Vice President assigned to 8 African countries (2 English speaking and 6 French speaking countries).
Her participation in different JCI International events was a real added value for her country. Further on she has also brilliantly represented our Organization in several conferences and youth forums.

I have known and worked with Asmaa during 2011 when she was JCI Morocco National President and during 2013 when she was the first Moroccan elected for the position of International Vice President assigned to 8 African countries (2 English speaking and 6 French speaking countries).
Her leadership earned her the merit of being elected best National President and best Ambassador of JCI Morocco.

Les compétences d'Asmaa en réseautage sont exemplaires car elle a récemment pu mettre en contact WISTA International avec l'Association Professionnelle des Agents Maritimes, Consignataires de navires et courtiers d'affrètement du Maroc (APRAM) et FONASBA. Nous avons également été ravis de constater le nombre d'accords de partenariat que WISTA Maroc a pu signer au niveau national et international depuis son lancement en mars 2016.

Le leadership d'Asmaa dans la sensibilisation aux questions liées à l'égalité des sexes dans les activités liées à la mer au niveau national et international fait d'elle une ambassadrice de la femme cadre marocaine dans plusieurs événements où elle a été invitée comme conférencière.
Asmaa a aussi un excellent réseau en Afrique ce qui lui permet de favoriser l'échange des expériences entre les femmes du Maroc et leurs homologues dans d'autres pays.

J'ai eu l'occasion de rencontrer Asmaa en Octobre 2016 à la Londres pendant les travaux de la Commission technique de l'Organisation Maritime Internationale (OMI) où elle a brillement représenté la femme Marocaine opérant dans les métiers liés à la mer.
Asmaa était à l'origine du partenariat signée entre l'IPER le Havre et WISTA Maroc grâce à son ambition de faire bénéficier les femmes cadres marocaines qui œuvrent dans le domaine des activités liées à la mer de l'expérience aussi bien de notre institut que de l'échange avec les participantes venants d'autres pays.

Nous avons eu l'occasion ainsi que mon équipe de collaborer avec Asmaa depuis 2016 en tant qu'intervenante à la 5ème conférence de la femme Africaine et Espagnole opérant dans le secteur maritime en Juillet 2016 à Las Palmas. Nous avons également été agréablement surpris par la qualité de l'organisation de la Conférence Annuelle de la femme marocaine et Africaine opérant dans les activités liées à la mer organisée à Casablanca du 20 au 22 Avril 2017.
Ses compétences en réseautage sont indéniables que ce soit au niveau national qu'international.

I have known Ms Benslimane for 2 years and was delighted to supervise her training as part of a Master's Degree in Political and Public Communication. I also directed her end of studies Thesis, at the Faculty of Economic, Social and Legal Sciences of Mohammedia /Hassan II University of Casablanca.
During that time, I witnessed her extraordinary motivation and courage first hand, that's why I feel that she has the ability to carry out her research about "Rethinking Moroccan Public Diplomacy as an approach to developing soft power: assessment, comparative study between Morocco and the United States and proposal of a model". This subject is really meeting Morocco's current needs in terms of nation branding, reputation and Soft Power.

As Ms Benslimane's MBA capstone project supervisor and Professor of "Projects management" and " Mega Complex Projects management" at SIST - Cardiff Metropolitan University, I have a very close understanding of Asmaa’s academic capabilities. In the two years that I have known her, I am very impressed with her dedication to any endeavor she has been involved with.
Asmaa’s greatest strengths are that she is an independent self-starter, multitasking and hard working person who spares no effort to meet the deadlines. Asmaa is also very courageous since she has decided to reorient her career after 19 years of seniority by preparing 2 masters in completely new fields for her: diplomatic studies and Political and Public Communication.

I met Ms. Benslimane last year during her stay in Denver Colorado when I hosted her with three other International Visitors Leadership Program (IVLP) participants for dinner at my home. Since that time, we have spoken on numerous occasions; she has been assisting me in identifying teaching opportunities in Morocco.
Ms. Benslimane is also a great global networker, extremely reliable and organized in her goal-setting. She is efficient and a very ambitious (in the positive sense of that word) person. She is very concerned about Morocco’s image and reputation; that's why I feel that she has the ability to carry out her research about "Public Diplomacy in foreign Policy : case of Morocco and the United States".
Her motivation and capacity for fulfilling her responsibilities in a multicultural environment through a great variety of activities will allow her to bring back to Morocco the best theories and practices.
Her skills do not end with her social work. She also projects a warm, cheerful attitude to her foreign interlocutors, making her a great ambassador of Moroccan women and the country of Morocco more generally.
