On 1st February 2018, House of Beaufort, under the patronage of a former senior trade diplomat, was delighted to launch the first of several international Beaufort Syndicates for professional women.

The Syndicate was launched in the beautiful environment of the Maison de la Paix, in Geneva, a stroll away from the UN and other international organizations. Locations are, of course, very symbolic, so we were delighted that our first meeting occurred in such an international house of global peace. Indeed, La Maison de la Paix is also home to the Geneva Centre for Security Policy, the Geneva International Centre for Humanitarian Demining and the Geneva Centre for the Democratic Control of Armed Forces.

Our Syndicate guests included 10 senior professional women from across the international sector of Geneva and the evening focused on the individual narratives of these inspirational women and focused on how we blend career with family life, address professional identity after sabbaticals and other core themes.

We are very excited with this launch and are looking forward to other “sister” events, in other cities, throughout 2018.
