The Cayman Islands’ chapter of 100 Women in Finance recently hosted its 8th Annual Barefoot Beach Fundraising Gala to celebrate 100WF’s 10th anniversary in the Cayman Islands, with net proceeds from the evening to benefit 100WF’s Investing in the Next Generation Initiative.
The funds will support GirlForce 100 and the needs-based scholarship programme which gives the opportunity for Caymanian females to attend local institutions, among other initiatives.
CEO Amanda Pullinger, said, “It is hard to believe it has been 10 years since 100 Women in Finance launched a location in the Cayman Islands with a core group of professional women from leading financial services firms, who saw a need for the presence of a professional women’s organization in Cayman.
“These outstanding women drove its success, building leadership and programmes to promote the organization’s pillars of Education, Peer Engagement and Impact.
“A decade later, 100WF Cayman has held over 159 members and community focused events spanning our three pillars, developed specific demographic focused initiatives for the finance industry’s Next Generation, raised nearly US$450,000 gross in funds for local charities and supported the community with the creation of 100 Women in Finance’s flagship career mentoring programme GirlForce 100,” Pullinger said.
