Celebrating inclusion and progress: CIBC honors the Steering Committee of Curaçao

Local | By Press release March 12, 2024

WILLEMSTAD - For nearly half a century, the Steering Committee Curaçao (Steering Committee) has been a beacon of inspiration, championing the inclusion of women in Curaçaoan society for nearly half a century. CIBC, (operating as CIBC FirstCaribbean in the Dutch Caribbean) proudly acknowledges the impact of the Steering Committee's tireless efforts in advancing the cause of women in Curaçao. 

On the occasion of International Women’s Day, CIBC extends its gratitude to the Steering Committee with a contribution, recognizing their pivotal role in fostering inclusion within our community. 

The theme of International Women’s Day resonates deeply with the work done by the Steering Committee: to inspire inclusion and invest in women to accelerate progress. For nearly five decades, the Steering Committee has been at the forefront of both endeavors in the Curaçaoan community.   By encouraging women to organize themselves into clubs of like-minded individuals and by serving as a unified voice for these organizations, the Steering Committee has fostered a culture of inclusion and empowerment.  

In our community, the inclusion of women has been instrumental in driving progress. CIBC acknowledges the undeniable impact of the Steering Committee and the organizations it represents in spearheading initiatives that empower women and drive positive change.    

The banks contribution is a token of appreciation for an organization that has pioneered both inspiring inclusion and investment in women.  

As we celebrate International Women’s Day, let us honor the contributions of the Steering Committee and reaffirm our commitment to fostering an inclusive society. Together, let us continue to inspire inclusion and invest in the women of Curaçao to accelerate progress.
