G/town Chamber elects new executive
The Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI) on Friday elected a new executive whose members will focus on a number of issues that directly involve and serve their membership.
Newly-elected President of the GCCI, Clinton Urling, will work closely with fellow executives; Senior Vice President Lance Hinds, Junior Vice President Sean Ramrattan, Secretary Molly Hassan and Treasurer Colleen Patterson, to ensure that the intended goals are met.

During a media briefing at the Chamber’s Waterloo Street location on Friday, Urling acknowledged that the Chamber has experienced remarkable achievements in terms of growth and development during the past years.
The new executives, he emphasized, are aiming to surpass the feats of their predecessors.
Urling stated that while much work is yet to be done and many challenges are ahead, the team will give of their best.
“I am pretty confident that we will achieve most of the goals and objectives that will be set. Some activities of the previous year are still in progress and these will continue. In two or three weeks we will come up with a work plan and that will be implemented before the end of this year,”
He stressed that all decisions arrived at, or any public pronouncements of the chamber, should reflect what the membership stands for, and what they want, as the foundation of the Chamber is to serve its membership.
They also plan to address priority issues such as capacity-building during their tenure.
Outgoing President Komal Ramnauth expressed confidence that the new body will achieve its goals and pointed out that its members already have a strong foundation with which they can work.
While the new executive plans to continue to work on the organisation’s five-year strategic plan and address priority issues, Ramnauth will remain as a volunteer. He will oversee the construction of the new building for the GCCI, as well as offer any support in terms of guidance, where this may be required.
He pledged continued support for the leadership of the organisation and added that he is proud that in his tenure much was achieved such as the reduction of corporate taxes, the raising of the threshold, establishment of a code of conduct and more.
