Linville Johnson, Director of the African American Market for The Islands Of The Bahamas, said that over the past few years, he has been pursuing relationships with key African American organizations to build partnerships. "The opportunity to meaningfully promote our event at their signature golf outing is a major step towards establishing and cementing a great partnership between our two organizations - Black Enterprise and The Bahamas."
Johnson said that Black Enterprise is one of America's most affluent organizations responsible for the education, empowerment and enrichment of African Americans in business and personal development; education and entrepreneurship; he added that, "We are now looking to Black Enterprise to work with us even further to the degree where we will see them hosting some of their events in The Bahamas, such as this golf outing - which of course we can easily host at one of our top PGA certified golf courses."
In addition to promoting IWES at the golf and tennis outing, The Bahamas also provided golfers with special Bahamas branded caps as well as other giveaways and information on The Bahamas. The Bahamas team members joining Mr. Johnson at the event included, Bridgette King, Sr. Director; Jeannie Gibson, Manager, Global Communications and Angelika Cartwright, Manager, Golf.
