D. Bristol, Clinton Charlery, Geoffrey Stephenson, and deceased William Lionel Edgecombe, were inducted into the prestigious Hall of Fame, at a gala ceremony held on June 22, 2019.
The ICSL celebrated the five inductees, highlighting their diverse backgrounds, experience, expertise and decades of dedicated service to cause and country.
President of the Insurance Council, Claudius Francis noted that notwithstanding all of the efforts of Council, lobbying on behalf of industry personnel and civil society, the induction recognition ceremony would still be a major achievement, irrespective of whether it was the only activity that the Insurance Council was known for.
“Having made a significant and lasting contribution to the insurance industry and therefore also to the wider society, it is the industry’s way of saying thank you by honoring these selfless and outstanding individuals with this prestigious award,” Francis said.
The ICSL, Hall of Fame was established six years ago and serves as a catalyst for the recognition of the sterling contribution of insurance industry personnel, who significantly and positively impacted the profession. In 2013, the Council first inducted George Noon (deceased), Geoffrey Jennings-Clark (deceased), Peter Bergasse, Arletta Bailey, Roderick Clarke and Sir Julian Hunte,
The ICSL’s Hall of Fame seeks to recognize persons who have contributed and continue to contribute to this industry without thought of gain but towards the growth of an industry and the people who work within it.
The Insurance Council of Saint Lucia was established in 1975 and still maintains its function as a body to act as a medium for consulting with financial services, and also lists amongst its objectives as being a body to foster the development of insurance on the island. The council focuses on core activities, of which one of them is the Hall of Fame.
The Hall of Fame induction ceremony is part of insurance week annual celebrations.
