2021 ANNUAL REPORT
TRANSFORMING TOMORROW...!
The T&T Chamber firmly
believes that the pace of
technology adoption must be
accelerated in both the private
and public sector if we are
to prepare for the world of
tomorrow.
Another of the positives of the last year has been the
commitment by our members to maintain their support for
the Chamber. In this regard, I once again commit that our
Board and the Secretariat will continue to be responsive in
the effort to ensure that our membership is fully satisfied with
the work and the reciprocal support of the Chamber. We will
ensure that our portfolio of services, training programmes
and events remain relevant and are supportive
of your needs. We will of course continue to
establish linkages between members and with
business visitors in the interest of ensuring that
the value of membership is optimised.
The last year has also seen the appointment of
our new Chief Executive Officer, Ian De Souza
and we bid farewell to Mr. Gabriel Faria as
our CEO. I offer my personal thanks and that
of the Board of Directors to Mr. Faria for his
dedication and unwavering commitment to the
Chamber’s goals, despite sometimes challenging
circumstances. I also look forward to working
with Mr. De Souza in ensuring continuity in the
delivery on our goals.
I must also thank the Chamber’s Board for
allowing me to serve a second term of office
as its President. It is an honour to serve under
this vibrant and committed team of Directors.
Equally, heartfelt thanks are due to our members who so
generously volunteer to serve on committees, our sponsors
and other contributors and the staff of the Secretariat.
Most of all, I thank our members who continue to support us.
Without you, there would be no Chamber, we are extremely
grateful for your partnership.
