Venue: Sandals Royal Bahamian Resort & Spa
The Bahamas Financial Services Board (BFSB) has launched the 4th year of its “Financial Centre Focus” (FCF) programme. This initiative was developed to profile the industry and to co-ordinate programmes relating to human resource development -- a key component in the continued success of The Bahamas as an international financial services centre.
As an integral part of the FCF, BFSB introduced the Financial Services Industry Excellence Awards, designed to recognise role models in the industry for outstanding performance and contribution to the growth and development of financial services in The Bahamas. Annually, awards are presented to awardees in the following categories:
Executive of the Year
Professional of the Year
Achiever of the Year:
This year, the 4th Excellence Awards Banquet will be held on October 16, and BFSB has now opened nominations for candidates in each of the three categories above.
Additionally, this year there will be a new category:
Financial Services Business Development Award
This award will recognise a firm or individual for entrepreneurial undertaking(s) arising from the new environment for financial services. This can include, but not be limited to, new business expansion, the creation of niche markets, or the development of new marketing efficiencies.
