First Ever
Youth Seminar!
For the first time ever First Citizens Investment Services held
a Youth Seminar on Wednesday 15 May 2013. The seminar
was quite a success with larger numbers than expected at
approximately 67 persons. The free event offered financial
advice to persons between the ages of 18 to 30 and the
presenters included two local young entrepreneurs, Teige
LaBorde and Ted Sandiford. Also making presentations
were First Citizens Business Development Officer (Retail)
Christine Charlemagne and Client Services Officer Denise
Lewis who engaged the audience and took questions. First
Citizens Investment Services expects to build new business
relationships with young people from this group.
