Committees
The operation of the Chamber is subdivided into services and activities that is championed by the organization’s committees, in its role as economic advisor and business advocate. These Committees were formulated with a mandate to act in and protect the interest of the business community on national issues which play a crucial role in Jamaica’s socio-economic development.
The Chamber activities and services takes the form of networking opportunities, facilitating ingoing and outgoing trade missions, linkages between our members, local and overseas sources and outlets for goods and services; lobbying government on matters affecting trade and the business industry among other services.
Serving on the Committee will not oblige you to become a Chamber member if you are not already, but we would certainly be happy to invite you to join us.
The Competitiveness Committee ensures that the flagship events are funded independent of the Chamber’s general budget and are delivered at the high standard.
Additionally the committee seeks to establish new products designed to add value to the membership of Members.
