THE work of the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI) will be spearheaded by Timothy Tucker for another year, following the chamber’s 132nd Annual General Meeting (AG) and elections, last Thursday.
Tucker, who retained his position as president of the chamber, is among the many council members who were re-elected to serve.

The chamber also elected its new Executive Management Committee (EMC) and chairpersons for its statutory and non-statutory committees.
Those persons elected for the EMC are Gerald Gouveia Jr., who is the Senior Vice-President; Kester Hutson, Junior Vice-President; Shaleeza Shaw, Secretary and Gavin Ramsoondar, Treasurer.

The chamber’s recent meeting paved the way for continued talks on improving business and business opportunities in the Guyanese private sector and the newly elected council is gearing up to make a significant impact this year.

GCCI is the oldest private sector representative organisation in Guyana and was established in 1890. It is member-driven and a professionally staffed non-profit association of business people committed to improving the economic climate and quality of life in Guyana.

The chamber’s strength lies in the size and diversity of its membership; both large and small businesses from virtually every sector are represented.
