BFSB will host a Board of Directors’ Retreat on Saturday January 17, 2015.
Since its inception in 1998, BFSB has been the catalyst for the promotion and development of the financial services sector in The Bahamas, both domestic and internationally focussed sub sectors. In the 16 years that BFSB has been in existence the industry has faced the widest range of challenges and issues driven by escalating international initiatives, the ever-present need to pursue new business opportunities, and the evolving requirements of clients and their advisors. The one constant in galvanizing response and action through this period of evolution and change has been BFSB.
BFSB’s Business Plan which was approved by its founding Board of Directors established a broad range of objectives, which are attached to this letter. While these objectives have served well BFSB and its member firms, there also comes a time when a progressive organization should examine the foundation upon which it was established and determine any new course of action for the future.
The January 17 Retreat has been structured to achieve the following:
- examine and discuss BFSB’s founding objectives to determine those which should take priority in the years ahead;
- establish broad action plans for the identified priorities and issues/opportunities facing the industry;
- facilitate Board of Director engagement in identified plans;
- enhance internal communication with member firms;
- examine our relationship and synergies with the Professional Industry Associations, and particularly those represented on the Board.
