SUMMARY:The Amicus Ball
DESCRIPTION:A Night of Two Realms\nA charitable black tie evening raising money for the St George’s Society of New York. \nIn the heart of late autumn\, the veil between our world and the supernatural has worn thin. Inspired by the celestial friction of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream\, we invite you to an evening where the rigid laws of the Mortal Court collide with the wild\, unpredictable magic of the Fae. \nKing Oberon and Queen Titania are at odds\, and their discord has pulled the lush spirit of midsummer into the crisp shadows of October. For one night only\, the seasons have tangled\, and the doors to La Victoria serve as the gateway to both. \nWe are thrilled to announce that\, for the second consecutive year\, St. George’s Society of New York is partnering with Chartered Accountants Worldwide (CAW) and the Society of Insurance Financial Management (SIFM) to bring this magical evening to life. \n\nREGISTER NOW \n  \nWhile the evening is strictly Black Tie\, we ask that your attire reflects your chosen realm: \n\nThe Mortals: Honor the Court in traditional tuxedos\, structured floor-length gowns\, and sharp\, symmetrical silhouettes.\nThe Fae: Channel the spirits of the wood in deep forest velvets\, shimmering iridescent fabrics\, botanical headpieces\, or floral embroidery.\n\n\nDate:     Thursday\, October 22\, 2026\nVenue: La Victoria Social Club\, 357 W 16th St\, New York\, NY 10011\nTime:    7 – 11 pm\nPrice:    Member Ticket $50   |  Non-Member Ticket | $60\n(Members of CAW\, SIFM\, and St. George’s Society of New York)\nSpouses\, colleagues and acquaintances are encouraged to attend. \nTicket includes entry and hors d’oeuvres. Please note this is a cash bar.

It’s to recognize the leadership strengths you’ve already developed\, leverage them to advocate for yourself\, and create a career that fits your life. \nToday’s workplace is changing. Workforce shortages\, an aging population\, increasing caregiving responsibilities\, and the rise of AI are placing greater value on human-centered skills. \nJoin the SIFM for a presentation and conversation with Dr. Krystal Duarte about emerging research examining the relationship between caregiving\, workplace skills\, and the mid-career experience. \nCaregivers Are a Competitive Advantage \n\n73% of U.S. employees are caregivers\n18 caregiving-developed skills align with employers’ most in-demand capabilities\nAI is increasing the value of uniquely human skills like empathy\, adaptability\, and problem-solving\n\nCaregivers are among the most capable and resilient professionals in today’s workforce. The skills developed through caregiving are the same skills organizations need to lead teams\, navigate change\, and drive results. \nWhat Is Caregiving?\nCaregiving happens every day: \n\nStopping to help a neighbor whose car won’t start\nShoveling snow for a new family\nAssisting a friend through a difficult time\nCoordinating medical appointments or daily care\nCaring for an elderly relative\nLooking after a sick or injured pet\n\nThese acts may feel ordinary\, but they build extraordinary skills. These are things we do daily that bring us joy and satisfaction. But caregiving is a talent advantage – providing skills like adaptability\, problem-solving\, communication\, empathy and attention to detail which are the 3 most valued skills across all organizations. Learn more about caregiving. \nMake Your Invisible Work Visible\nLearn how caregiving develops the leadership and workplace skills organizations need most\, and how to leverage them for your career advancement. Join us for this unique and inspiring conversation.
