GCCI set to award seven business categories this year

May 18, 2008 News

For the eighth year running, the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI) will be recognising businesses and their contributions to Guyana.

According to the Chamber, this year the categories would be extended even further to now include seven awards.

The Annual Awards Presentation, which was introduced in 2001, remains the signature occasion on the calendar of the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and is geared to recognize and honour members of the business community, as well as individuals, for outstanding corporate performance, corporate social responsibility, ethical behaviour, leadership, and innovation. It also encourages good governance, diversification, and competitiveness.

In 2007, the Chamber not only expanded the categories in which recognition was to be given, but facilitated the participation of its membership and the wider public in nominating businesses for awards.
This year, the categories are the “Business of the Year Award”, “GCCI President’s Award”, “New Business Achievement Award”, “Life Time Achievement Award”, “The Chamber Award”, “Corporate Citizen Award” and “Public Service Award of Excellence”.
