A most successful seminar Women & Work was hosted by ECA NV., at the Seaport Conference Center on March 8th, International Day of Women. Key-note speaker, Dr. Peggy Dolet, reiterated women can have it all, providing life & work integration is achieved. Additional local role models featured in the seminar included the Minister of Infrastructure Marisol Lopez Tromp, Banker Rina Solognier and Tax Consultant Evelyn Wever Croes. Police Commissioner Trudy Hassel, gave a powerful presentation, recounting her personal odyssey juggling a career with family life. She received a standing ovation from over 400 women in the room at the end of her heroic tale.
The seminar was organized in conjunction with sponsors Valero Refinery, Antraco Aruba Group, Caribbean Mercantile Bank and Ling & Sons Supermarket. The forum also acknowledged Marie Therese Croes for her life-long voluntary work especially within the Women's Club Aids Committee for the past two decades. ECA's Aldrick Croes reports the seminar was given on two islands, Curaçao & Aruba, and that it was well received in both communities. Thank you Caribbean Mercantile Bank for the roses!
