Freeport, The Bahamas - Under the theme, “Continuation, Collaboration and Competition”, The Grand Bahama Chamber of Commerce (GBCC) would be hosting its annual banquet and installation of officers and directors on January 31, 2015 at the Grand Ballroom of the Grand Lucayan Resort, Freeport.
Mr. Kevin D. Seymour, the 2014-2015 President of the GBCC, along with his officers and directors are inviting the business community of Grand Bahama and the general public to celebrate this evening with them and hear about their plans for the 2014-2015 year.
In keeping with the Mission Statement of the GBCC, “To provide the network, to sustain, promote and support business development in an effort to encourage sustainable growth and expansion in the Grand Bahama economy and within a healthy and clean community environment”, the president has chosen as his theme for the year, “Continuation, Collaboration and Competition”.
Continuation: The GBCC will continue the mandate set out by the past administration; which is to spur economic growth in Freeport and the wider communities of Grand Bahama Island, to advocate for the exemptions under the Hawksbill Creek Agreement to continue for the life of the Agreement.
Collaboration: To foster relationships and work with key stakeholders, the Grand Bahama Port Authority and Government, hence creating a platform for dialog and engagement in matters that affect the economic growth of the island.
Competition:The ultimate goal is to make Freeport and Grand Bahama Island a destination that is competitive by world standards.
