The Industry Excellence Awards Programme, co-sponsored by BFSB and the Professional Industry Associations, recognizes outstanding industry practitioners in a number of categories, including Executive of the Year, Mentor of the Year, Professional of the Year, and Achiever of the Year. An award also is presented for Financial Services Development & Promotion.

Recipients in each of the categories will be recognized at the 2014 Gala Awards Dinner on November 14.
In addition, BFSB will recognize a 2014 graduate from the School of Business at the College of the Bahamas, as FSI Student of the Year.
Also on this occasion, Ryan Pinder, Minister of Financial Services, will announce the recipient of the 2014 Minister’s Award – presented to an individual chosen by the Minister for contributions to the development and/or promotion of the sector.
