PRESIDENT’S REMARKS
The President – Mr. Cecil Frederick then addressed the meeting. He indicated that he
had completed one year of his two year term.
He continued stating that TTAIFA’s financial status was healthy and an investment
committee was instituted to review our investment portfolio and make recommendations,
the first one being the CLICO investment of 200,000.00.
Mr. Frederick seeked to address the “Why CARAIFA” question. He gave a brief
overview of CARAIFA and added that with the coming into effect of the CSME,
CARAIFA would need to be a major player in this scenario, representing all the LUA’s
in the Caribbean.
In the view of education, he said that CARAIFA had made ties with the American
College and they in conjunction with our representatives were working on the
Caribbeanisation of the CFP Programme especially in the areas of law and taxation. The
President continued stating that with the Caribbean CFP our designation holders would
be more marketable in the CSME Scenario.
He pleaded with members present to build relationships and desist from proselytizing.
Mr. Frederick told members of his work on the TTII Board and said that this was an
avenue where the TTAIFA view could be tabled at governmental levels.
