SIGBI\u2019s 89th conference was opened by Hilary Ratcliffe OBE.<\/p>\n

Ann Dawson conference chair welcomed us, explaining that members had asked for iconic or capital cities to host. London certainly ticked both those boxes. President Cathy Cottridge welcomed members and guests, and explained that 80 first time attenders were wearing yellow lanyards. Thanks was given to past members. \u00a0 We heard King Charles best wishes congratulating us on our focus on sustainability, violence against women, & microfinancing<\/p>\n
