ATLANTA, Georgia - Minister of Foreign of Affairs to the Commonwealth of
The Bahamas Fred Mitchell is on a brief diplomatic tour of metro
Atlanta, where he is meeting with government officials, civil rights
leaders and business executives, in what has been described as a “great
dialog” that will positively impact both regions.
Among those attending a luncheon with Min. Mitchell was Andre Dickens,
Atlanta City Council Member; Rashida Winfrey, Mosiac Advisors Financial
Management CEO; Michael Ross, Program Manager for Hartsfield Jackson
International Airport; Cassius Butts, Regional Director Small Business
Administration; Leona Davenport, Atlanta Business League CEO; and Tommy
Dortch, entrepreneur.
Also in attendance was Tim Waddell, the
Development Manager for Popeye’s fast food chains who is a key player in
the company’s expansion into The Bahamas and the Bahamas Popeye’s Bowl.
Rounding out the list of luncheon attendees were representatives of The
Bahamas Consulate General’s Office of Atlanta, namely Consul General
Randy E. Rolle and Deputy Consul Monique Vanderpool.
Min. Mitchell engaged in talks about current events, issues, tourism growth and challenges.
“Atlanta is the heart and center of government, business and social
trends when it comes to the southeast United States,” said Rashida
Winfrey. “We’re already seeking to have an expanded conversation and
even go down to The Bahamas to see firsthand how we can positively
impact folks. There is so much we can do when it comes to partnerships
in education, principle industries, agriculture and more.”
“Minister Mitchell’s visit gave us the opportunity at our office to
introduce him to those we have developed an amicable partnership with as
well as those who seek to network, invest and collaborate with The
Bahamas and Bahamians,” stated Consul General Rolle. “Overall, the
luncheon proved a great occasion for us to exchange ideas and gave us an
opportunity to further converse with leaders in the City of Atlanta and
The Bahamas.”
