Marina Bay Sands’ Post

Last Thursday, close to 300 Team Members came together for our inaugural International Women’s Day event, organised by Marina Bay Sands’ all-women employee resource group EmpowHer. Themed ‘Choose to Act, Dare to Accelerate’, the full-day event celebrated and uplifted our female employees with a line-up of activities. The event kicked off with opening remarks by our Chief Operating Officer Paul Town, followed by a special video message from Dr Miriam Adelson, who laid the grounds for the success of Marina Bay Sands together with her late husband and founder of Las Vegas Sands Sheldon Adelson. Team Members joined a fireside chat with Singaporean actress and former Nominated Member of Parliament Janice Koh, who shared about how she embraces life with positivity and happiness. She imparted a wealth of advice, from identifying self-limiting beliefs and developing a set of tools to cope with life’s struggles, to surrounding oneself with a tribe to journey through life’s joys and challenges together. Team Members also indulged in a sumptuous international buffet spread capped with beautiful desserts, before enjoying other activities such as a financial literacy talk helmed by HSBC’s Ashmita Acharya and our Chief Financial Officer Suzie Tan, as well as self-defense and wellness classes, and a retail pop-up by non-profit Singapore Council Of Women's Organisations. To all the women who inspire us every day – thank you. Your strength, resilience, brilliance and contributions make the world a better place every day. #InternationalWomensDay #MarinaBaySands
