Renowned Ghanaian author Raphaelle Antwi, known widely as Author Ralph, has been appointed as a diplomatic corps representative of the National Business League of America.
This distinguished volunteer appointment recognises his visionary leadership in global commerce aligning with the NBL’s mission.
Author Ralph’s appointment comes with a three-fold responsibility of leading diplomatic initiatives to forge alliances, amplifying global participation, and advancing unilateral, bi-lateral, and tri-lateral trade; serving as an eminent ambassador, building partnerships with government officials, sponsors, and industry leaders; and championing the Global Buyer-Supplier Summit, advocating trade policies to unlock BBE opportunities across the diaspora.
In response to his appointment, Author Ralph expressed appreciation to Dr Ken Harris, Mayor Johnny Ford, and the entire leadership of the National Business League for finding him worthy of the position.
He also thanked his team at the Relevant Achievers Impacting Nations for 28 years of support.
Author Ralph said, “This is more about the responsibilities than the opportunities for me. I am a believer in the fact that when you focus on the responsibilities, the opportunities would follow naturally. But when you focus and go after the opportunities, you are most likely to lose both the responsibilities and the opportunities.”
According to the renowned author, “I am committed to ensuring this new appointment is used responsibly to serve more people across the nations than I have done in the last 28 years.”
He further noted that “In the coming weeks, I am going to constitute a strategic team to begin planning our roadmap and the blueprint to maximising this appointment.” The author of 63 books also mentioned he would be launching his 20th anniversary celebrations in book writing and publishing in June this year.
