Over 60 People Attend Speed Networking Lunch
On December 30th, BFIS hosted their Christmas Speed Networking lunch for over 60 students and insurance industry professionals at the XL Conference Centre.
Jane Bielby of BFIS said, “This Christmas we had more undergraduates than insurance people but we paired up the students with a professional and found that still worked well. The comments we received from both students and professionals were all extremely positive.”
BFIS Speed Networking lunch held on December 30, 2014.
Chelsea Smith, a BFIS scholar, said, “Having attended previous BFIS events, it was like continuing a conversation as I had already met several of the professionals and it was like picking up where we’d left off as they remembered me and wanted to find out how I was progressing with my studies, which was really nice.”
The next BFIS Speed Networking events will take place for high-school students in February and will target students interested in specific careers in the industry – underwriting,actuarial, accounting and finance, and corporate law.
The BFIS Networking volunteers come from all area sand levels of Bermuda’s insurance and accounting sectors and include BFIS alumni and insurance-focused organizations: CPCU [Chartered Property Casualty Underwriter] Bermuda Chapter, Bermuda Under 40s and CABER [Casualty Actuaries of Bermuda].
The BFIS Mentor Network is sponsored by the Aon Group’s Rhondelle Tankard Memorial Fund.
