The President’s Message
The Power of TTMA’s
Advocacy
Now that we have some distance from the more intense aspects of the pandemic, the
opportunity is at hand to assess how it was managed by individual businesses and those
that form a sector of the industrial operations in Trinidad and Tobago. In hindsight therefore,
one of the key elements of such an assessment is the role that the TTMA played for its
membership. With pandemic conditions as unique and unprecedented as they were,
the membership was able to turn to their compatriots and competitors in a safe space
for support and to the TTMA to provide leadership and guidance in navigating individual
operations. This network of sustenance is essentially the power of TTMA’s advocacy for
its members and an example of what the organization has been doing for the last six plus
decades for the manufacturing sector in this country.
