“Scotiabank is excited to partner with The Bahamian Icon Awards as sponsor of The Rising Star Icon,” announced Leah Davis, Scotiabank’s Senior Manager of Marketing. “As part of Scotiabank’s philanthropic commitment to supporting opportunities for young people in the community, we are proud to sponsor The Rising Star Icon category.

This award is given to an outstanding Bahamian youth leader, under the age of 21, who is making remarkable achievements and has demonstrated a strong work ethic and determination in their pursuit of personal and professional success.”

Addis T. Huyler, founder and executive producer of The Bahamian Icon Awards expressed, “The Bahamian Icon Awards celebrates greatness. The award recognizes Bahamian citizens who have exemplified the best intentions of the Bahamian Spirit; that of excellence and achievement. As an outstanding corporate citizen, we are so pleased to have Scotiabank as a part of our team this year.”

“Our goal for the Rising Star Icon is to continue to foster and encourage a mindset of relevance, value and validity in our young people. With this award, we hope to continue a conversation that involves our young people about how we can and should move the country forward,” continued Huyler.

The much anticipated 2017 Bahamian Icon Awards will be a fabulous red carpet event taking place on June 17, 2017 at The Melia Nassau Beach Resort.

About Scotiabank in the Bahamas: As Canada’s most international bank, Scotiabank has been operating in The Bahamas for 60 years, since opening its first small branch in Nassau in 1956. The following year, Bank of Nova Scotia Trust Company (Bahamas) Limited – Scotiabank’s Wealth Management offering – was established in The Bahamas. 
Over the years, Scotiabank has evolved into a network of 13 branches and 69 ATMs across the country, providing a complete range of retail, commercial and wealth products and services — including online banking, electronic cash management, and offshore banking services to individuals and businesses. 
Scotiabank is committed to being The Bahamas’ financial institution of choice by providing comprehensive financial services to individuals and businesses, and being a good corporate citizen by helping young people in the community become better off. Each year, Scotiabank’s community donations and sponsorships exceed $300,000 while employees spend over 3,000 cumulative hours volunteering their time and energy to charitable causes.
