ICYMI: Mentoring Cayman's 2016/17 Programme Kicked Off with an Opening Reception
The Cayman Islands Chamber of Commerce proudly kicked off the Mentoring Cayman programme on the evening of Tuesday, October 11.
The Opening Reception, held at St. Ignatius Catholic School, saw this year's mentors and mentees meet for the very first time. The pairings will meet 6 times throughout the next year at the mentor's place of work, where they will then offer advice, guidance and support to their mentee.
The Chamber President, Paul Pearson, delivered some opening remarks about the programme and its successes since its inception in 2002. When discussing the development of the programme over the years, Chamber President, Paul Pearson, commented:
"The Mentoring Cayman programme was the first of its kind in the Cayman Islands, and it's encouraging to see that it has influenced the creation of similar programmes. It is also phenomenal to see past students go on to volunteers as a mentor, giving back to the programme that supported them in their younger years."
He then invited the Minister of Community Affairs, Youth & Sports - Hon. Osbourne Bodden - to the stage.

Member Movements: Conyers and CCMI Join Forces to Protect Coral Reefs
More of Cayman's coral reefs are being protected thanks to Conyers Dill & Pearman joining forces with the Central Caribbean Marine Institute (CCMI) for the annual Festival of Seas, a celebration of the extensive research and education work undertaken by CCMI.
Conyers have selected the Central Caribbean Marine Institute as a local not-for-profit to support this year, as the staff of the offshore magic circle firm have strongly advocated the funding of environmental protection initiatives.
Ben Hobden, associate at Conyers explains: "It is clear that as a coastal community, Cayman relies heavily upon a healthy sea. The reefs are beautiful to look at, but they also protect our coastline from storm surge, supply our local fisherman, and are the key to attracting millions of dollars in tourism each year - a major pillar of Cayman's economy."
