The Bahamas Financial Services Board (BFSB) is hosting a forum designed to “Foster dialogue and create an environment where industry professionals are motivated to pursue higher levels of excellence.”  The programme will be held on Thursday, March 18, in the Independence C Ballroom, Sheraton Nassau Beach Hotel, starting at 4:00 p.m.

This Leadership and Entrepreneurship component of BFSB’s Lecture Series has as a primary goal the profiling of Bahamians who have achieved success in financial and professional services, whether as top  management and/or as entrepreneurs; specifically focusing on how our present leaders can be used to mentor future leaders. Speakers for the March 18 event will include Anthony Ferguson, Principal, CFAL; Lindon Nairn, Vice-President, Life Division, Colina Insurance; and Vaughn Delaney, Deputy Managing Director, Bank of the Bahamas International.  These BFSB member firms are sponsors of the seminar.   Messrs. Ferguson and Nairn will speak to “The Pursuit of Excellence”, while Mr. Delaney will present on “Leadership Characteristics and Abilities: What Really Matters”.

The seminar targets financial services professionals at supervisory and mid-management levels, and the seminar will include not only personal stories, but also focus on evolving client needs within the industry and how professionals can position themselves to respond effectively.  In this connection, Mr. David Harvey, Chief Executive of STEP, will address participants on “Riding the Tide:  How to be a Resilient Professional”.
