ANSA McAL Lim­it­ed served as the of­fi­cial spon­sor of the Women in Lead­er­ship (WIL) 2025 Net­work­ing and Cock­tail Re­cep­tion, host­ed by the Uni­ver­si­ty of the West In­dies – Arthur Lok Jack Glob­al School of Busi­ness (UWI-ALJGSB).

The spon­sor­ship un­der­scores the Group’s on­go­ing com­mit­ment to in­clu­sive lead­er­ship and aligns with a core pil­lar of ANSA McAL’s Peo­ple Strat­e­gy: cre­at­ing eq­ui­table path­ways to lead­er­ship for all.

Held un­der the theme “Peo­ple, Cul­ture and Per­for­mance: Strate­gies for Women in Pow­er,” the 19th edi­tion of the WIL Con­fer­ence spanned two im­pact­ful days. It ex­plored how women are re­defin­ing lead­er­ship mod­els ground­ed in em­pa­thy, col­lab­o­ra­tion, and sus­tain­able per­for­mance.

The hy­brid-for­mat event opened on Ju­ly 8 with an evening of “Con­ver­sa­tions and Cock­tails” at the UWI-ALJGSB Mt Hope Cam­pus. The re­cep­tion pro­vid­ed a space for mean­ing­ful con­nec­tion, where at­ten­dees en­gaged in can­did con­ver­sa­tions and heard in­spir­ing sto­ries from speak­ers whose jour­neys em­bod­ied re­silience and pur­pose. A full-day vir­tu­al con­fer­ence fol­lowed on Ju­ly 9, of­fer­ing at­ten­dees prac­ti­cal tools, em­pow­er­ing nar­ra­tives, and op­por­tu­ni­ties for cross-in­dus­try learn­ing.

The event drew pro­fes­sion­als and thought lead­ers from across the re­gion, in­clud­ing Pres­i­dent Chris­tine Car­la Kan­ga­loo and Jear­lean John, Min­is­ter of Works and In­fra­struc­ture—both in at­ten­dance in sup­port of the mis­sion to em­pow­er women in lead­er­ship.

Speak­ing at the re­cep­tion, Amy Laz­zari, Chief Peo­ple and Cul­ture Of­fi­cer at ANSA McAL Lim­it­ed, said: “This part­ner­ship with UWI-ALJGSB aligns with our Peo­ple Strat­e­gy, which fo­cus­es on build­ing a cul­ture where lead­er­ship po­ten­tial is recog­nised and nur­tured at every lev­el.

“Sup­port­ing this net­work­ing re­cep­tion was not just the right thing to do—it rep­re­sents a strate­gic in­vest­ment in our peo­ple, our per­for­mance, and the cul­ture we aim to fos­ter.”

The ini­tia­tive forms part of ANSA McAL’s broad­er cul­ture strat­e­gy, which pri­ori­tis­es equal op­por­tu­ni­ty, the pro­mo­tion of di­verse per­spec­tives, and em­bed­ding in­clu­sive lead­er­ship in de­ci­sion-mak­ing spaces.

Par­tic­i­pants left the con­fer­ence in­spired and re-en­er­gised, equipped with new in­sights and ac­tion­able strate­gies. Cen­tral to the two-day event was a shared be­lief: when women lead with em­pa­thy, vi­sion, and courage, they not on­ly de­liv­er re­sults—they help trans­form work­place cul­ture.
