Kingdom Women In Business Planning Second Annual Conference

Nassau, The Bahamas….Women from the Bahamas, North America and several island nations in the region will convene at the historic British Colonial Hilton hotel next month for the 2nd Annual Kingdom Women in Business Conference (KWIB).

Last year, the conference started off with just over 12 women including founder Melisa Hall, patron Dr. Ada Thompson and noted women like former Senator Tanya McCartney. The ladies organized a major event which saw scores of Bahamian women from various walks of life and they officially launched the organization.

“God has truly brought us from a mighty long way,” said Mrs. Hall. “What started off as a simple idea for Bahamian businesswomen to come together has turned into a highly anticipated international event that has garnered us a few sponsors that we never thought would join. More importantly, Bahamian women come and network and launch, in some cases relaunch their lives.”

Mrs. Hall speaks proudly of some of the success stories that resulted since women joined KWIB. “We’ve had someone start a magazine, another lady wrote and published the first of several books, someone else started a television show, another lady fulfilled a life long dream to own her own company and a shy woman has turned into a much sought after motivational speaker,” she said. “This is just part of the reason why it is essential for us women to come together, share our talents and expertise and help each other out. Can you imagine the results we’ll have if we all shared instead of keeping our success a secret? Because we’d be helping each other, we’d be benefitting great rewards.”

Since launching the organization’s website www.kingdomwomeninbusiness.org and Facebook page Mrs. Hall said there has been a lot of questions from North America and the Caribbean. “With technology, our world has no borders and as a result women have been wanting to come to the event as well as sign up to become members,” said Mrs. Hall. “Our KWIB members are now thrust into the spotlight as Bahamian ambassadors when these ladies arrive and they have opportunities to then continue friendships. Last year, one member who was just launching her Public Relations firm was able to use a member she met through KWIB to get connected to a national American magazine and to several others throughout the Caribbean. So when you have such opportunities, take advantage of them.”

Early registration for the second annual conference is already in progress. For more information call 242-328-6050.
