BEPRO Offers Business Benefits To Members

Bermuda’s Emerging Professionals [BEPRO] is offering benefits to its membership following its official benefits launch on June 5, 2014, giving members the ability to take advantage with a long list of local companies.

A spokesperson said, “Thanks to the hard-working BEPRO Board, valuable relationships have been created with local companies resulting in tangible benefits for members when presenting their new membership cards along with valid ID.”

BEPRO Chair LaKea Dill stated, “Offering benefits is another way for us to show appreciation – not only to our members but also to the local companies with whom we’ve fostered great relationships. Through this initiative, we expect all parties involved to benefit in a positive way.”

“Participating companies include Juice ‘n’ Beans Café, LovIt Boutique, Kit n’ Caboodle, Flanagan’s Irish Pub & Outback Sports Bar, Pulp & Circumstance, Auto Star, My Sereni-Tea, Pretty Puppiez, Fusion Fitness, The Bermuda Insurance Institute, and Lemon Tree.”

Chris Garland, General Manager/Director of Flanagan’s, expressed his support of the partnership, saying, “BEPRO provides Flanagan’s/Outback with a client base that is professional, respectful, and supportive of our vision to see all Bermudians thrive in whatever field they choose.”

Kristi Grayston, Managing Partner at Pulp and Circumstance and President of the Chamber of Commerce, said, “We are so excited to be a part of BEPRO’s sponsorship launch as it is a growing part of the Chamber.

“BEPRO has been an extremely active division and I know that the Executive [Chamber] Board joins me in congratulating them on making the future of Bermuda business look so bright. Pulp & Circumstance are proud to participate.”

“Emerging and established professionals are encouraged to join BEPRO at any time; the annual General Membership is $50 and Student Membership is $25, with yearly renewals required.

“In addition to the new benefits, BEPRO members will continue to enjoy free [unless otherwise stated] admittance to Lunch N’ Learn seminars and various workshops, invitations to join community projects and events [such as Movember], discounted or free rates for social events such as Quiz/Games Nights, networking events and cocktail receptions, and free invitations to private events such as the annual Christmas Party.

“It is also that time again for BEPRO’s Annual Summer Membership Reception ‘Convos & Cocktails’ to be held on July 25 at Bacardi Limited from 5.30pm through 7.30pm. All are welcome to attend for some good old-fashioned mingling over complimentary drinks and hors d’oeuvres, including the BEPRO signature cocktail, and to learn more about this active organization.”

BEPRO Marketing Director Sharmaine Landy said, “This event is a great opportunity for emerging and established professionals to network with distinguished invited guests from various industries, while marketing themselves as emerging players ready to take their career and/or business in the right direction.”

“The event is free and there will be giveaways throughout. An RSVP is required for the event and those RSVPing for others will need to provide their full name and email address when doing so.
