The purpose of the panel is to share your experience in regards to the challenges that you may have faced as a Club President and how you overcame them.
We look forward to strong representation from RCOF as we feel that your voice will be a great addition to our program.

Our featured speaker will be Ms. Deborah Deal, an environmentalist, President of Contemporary Builders XIX Ltd. and a partner in the South Ocean Palms "green" subdivision.
Over the years, her respect for the environment has worked its way into her career as a builder of green homes. Nine years ago, the company built its first green home in Charlotteville with solar panels and back up batteries as its energy source. Sustainability and energy efficiency being so important in construction both globally and in The Bahamas, her desire is to ensure all Bahamians and residents alike are awarded the opportunity to better steward our country through Best Building practices.
