MR LANCE Hinds of The BrainStreet Group was elected President of the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI) at its Annual General Meeting on Thursday last in the boardroom of the GCCI’s Waterloo Street headquarters building where a 21-member council was also elected.

Proud of the accomplishments made under his stewardship, former GCCI president Mr. Clinton Urling said: “It has been a tremendous honour to lead GCCI for the past two terms, and I would like to express how grateful I am to have been given this tremendous honour.”

The committee executive members are Senior Vice-President Vishnu Doerga, of Doerga Business Enterprises; Junior Vice-President, Padma Prashad; Secretary, Nicolas Boyer; and Treasurer, Eon Grant. They will serve the GCCI for the period 2014-2015.

It is expected that the new committee will prioritise holding its first executive committee meeting sometime this week, when reconstruction of its headquarters building is expected to be high on that agenda, as would be the work plan for the period 2014-2015.
