BFIS Holds Christmas Speed Networking Lunch
On December 30, BFIS held its Christmas Speed Networking lunch which was well attended by approximately 50 students and insurance industry professionals. The 6 minute ‘speed interviews’ session continued at a rapid pace for almost an hour, followed by general networking over a sandwich lunch for a further hour.
“Undergraduates and recent graduates plus three high school students took full advantage of talking to and gaining advice from insurance professionals, including actuaries, accountants, underwriters, brokers and operational personnel,” the BFIS said.
Cathy Lapsley, Executive Director of BFIS said, “The comments received from both students and professionals were all very positive. The random contacts that are made can be career changing, and we cannot thank the professionals enough for volunteering their time”.
“The next BFIS Speed Networking events will be specifically for high school students in February 2016. BFIS thanks The Aon Rhondelle Tankard Memorial Fund which sponsors the BFIS Mentor Networking Programme and XL Catlin for providing the venue.”
