Performances from local artists included Olivia Hamilton, Tino Martinez and Suave Salsa. WiRe Chairwoman, Peta White, closed the formal line up with a celebratory champagne toast sponsored by Conduit Re.

“The Women’s Day Gala was developed to mark the WiRe’s 15th Anniversary and highlight the significant contributions of women in Bermuda’s world class reinsurance industry. The Lifetime Achievement Award was given to well-known industry leader Kathleen Faires.
