BFIS Alumni Set To Hold Networking Event
The BFIS Alumni Committee is getting set to hold a networking event on Thursday, January 28, offering the opportunity to “share a drink with fellow alumni, network and learn how you can give back through the BFIS Alumni Committee.”
The event will take place at Muse from 5.30pm to 7.30pm; to RSVP, email bfisalumni@gmail.com.
A spokesperson said, “The BFIS Alumni Committee’s mission is to serve as a platform for the 163 BFIS graduates and interns who are now working in the insurance and reinsurance market, to network and develop skills relevant to their chosen disciplines.
“The Committee, which is comprised of Bermudians representing almost all areas of insurance and reinsurance, will host a number of initiatives and social events throughout the year for BFIS Alumni.
“Alongside these programs, a major initiative for the Committee is to establish the BFIS Alumni Scholarship, which will be first awarded this year to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the creation of BFIS. The scholarship will be presented to Bermudian students to assist with their studies in pursuit of a business or insurance‐related career.
“The BFIS Alumni Scholarship is to be funded entirely by BFIS Alumni. The Committee is hoping to raise enough funds to award a scholarship valued at $20,000, in recognition of the 20 years that BFIS has been funding insurance education.
“Make sure to bring your business cards for our raffle prize.”
