Bahamas - FirstCaribbean International Bank

Chairman’s Report continued
The achievements of these five years prove that our people are dedicated
and competent and among the best in the industry. They also suggest very
strongly that our philosophy towards our people is inherently well founded
and we will continue to promote, redefine and live this core value of being
first for our people.
Appreciation
I wish to place on record my appreciation for the highly valued contributions
of all our stakeholders – our customers, all our employees, our regulators and
host governments and of course our shareholders who provide the capital
that makes our business possible.
I would also like to thank our Directors for their most important contribution.
I would also like to thank Ms Teresa Butler for her many years on the Parent
and Bahamas subsidiary Boards and wish her success and happiness on her
return to public service. As we embark upon the second half of our first
decade, I rededicate all our efforts and energies to living our core values
of being first for those who matter most – customers, employees our
communities and our shareholders.
