They were truly inspired and intrigued by what they experienced. Following the conference they met with the President of the Midwifery Today Magazine Jan Tritten and invited her to The Bahamas to hold a conference. Ms. Tritten was enthusiastic and immediately accepted the invitation, "Who wouldn't want to come to The Bahamas?" Ms. Bain along with her colleagues Jennifer King, Cleola-mae Hamilton, and Ella Anderson started putting plans in action to host the first international conference in The Bahamas. A Midwifery Conference was held in The Bahamas from September 22-26 , 2005, under the theme: Sharing The Culture ofBirth. The conference was a resounding success. Many countries were represented, and the association had the support of the Ministry of Tourism, Minister Obie Wilchombe, Ms. Valerie Miller, The Royal Bahamas Defence Force, and many others. Attendance was excellent and the Bahamian Midwives rose to the occasion with their presentations and hospitality. The first meeting of the potential organization was exciting and historical. Twenty -five midwives attended that meeting. The conference served as a catalyst to form the Midwives Association of The Commonwealth ofThe Bahamas. The following Midwives were selected to make up the initial executive team: * Ella Anderson - President * Shirley Curtis- Vice-President * Valerie Miller- Secretary * Karol Mackey- Asst. Secretary * Yvonne Bain -Treasurer * Monique Lewis- Chaplain The team started meeting regularly to put in place the Goals, Objective, Vision and By Laws of the Association.

Local police and rescue agencies were not alerted about the sinking until late in the afternoon on Monday as no one had reported it until a young man (a survivor that swam to shore) walked into the police station in Marsh Harbour around 3pm that day.
