The VM Group officially launched its Staff Alumni Programme on Saturday, February 21, 2026, during a networking reception at the VM Wealth rooftop in New Kingston.

The evening brought together current and former team members in an atmosphere of reconnection and celebration, signalling the organisation’s commitment to maintaining meaningful relationships long after formal employment ends.

In welcoming attendees, Suzette Rochester Lloyd, chief representative officer for the VM Building Society Florida Representative Office, noted that the alumni programme represents a deliberate step toward strengthening ties with former team members locally and across the Jamaican diaspora.

She emphasised that the initiative is designed not only to celebrate shared history, but also to create structured opportunities for ongoing global engagement.

Courtney Campbell, president and CEO of the VM Group, thanked former team members for their continued support and the role they have played in shaping the organisation over the decades.
