Nassau, Bahamas - On October 3, 2013 at The Nassau Yacht
Club, The Rotaract Club of East Nassau hosted its Second Annual
Entrepreneurship Panel Discussion, “I Am My Own Boss: Bahamian
Entrepreneurship”, under the directorship of Vice President / Professional
Development Director, Adrian Forsythe. This event was sponsored by Bahamas
Wholesale Agencies (BWA), Scotiabank (Bahamas) Limited and Lickety Split Ice
Cream & Deli. The aim of this event was to assist individuals in idea
generation and business development by allowing a panel of successful
entrepreneurs to give advice on various aspects of creating and sustaining
business in The Bahamas.
The moderator of the event was Dianne Phillips, Founder and
President of Dianne Phillips & Associates, who streamlined the evening and
coordinated the topics discussed. The speakers included Mr. Barry
Rassin, President of Doctors Hospital; Mr. Anthony Ferguson, CFA, MCSI, CIArb,
President of CFAL and President/Publisher of The Guardian Media Group; and Ms.
Alanna Rodgers, Founder and Chief Culinary Ambassador of Tru Bahamian Food
Tours and Founder and Director of Hands For Hunger. Each speaker represented a
professional in a different and unique sector and era in Bahamian
entrepreneurship. The speakers went into detail, sharing their experiences of
developing, planning for, growing, and maintaining their businesses. The guests
were more than excited to hear these stories, which could be seen by the
questions they presented to the speakers. The speakers held nothing back in
answering, sometimes giving very personal responses to assist the budding
entrepreneurs that attended the event.
President Taran Mackey and Vice President Adrian Forsythe
were very pleased with the response and attendance. They both shared that
individuals should look out for the Third Annual event next year. Additionally,
on
November 21, 2013 at the same venue, the club intends to hold its first Women
In the Workplace Panel Discussion.
