US Senator leads team to discuss energy, infrastructure
United States Senator representing the District of Virginia, Richard Black, on Tuesday paid a courtesy call on Public Telecommunications Minister, Catherine Hughes.
Senator Black (3rd from l) pose with Minister Hughes and delegation in MOPT’s Colgrain House boardroom.
Black would be leading a team to talk with officials on matters relating to energy and infrastructure, according to a short statement of the ministry.
Senator Black was accompanied on his official visit to Guyana by Guyana-born Mayor of Purcellville Virginia, Kwasi Fraser, and a delegation of four technology and business specialists.
“The visitors enjoyed a lively discussion with Minister Hughes on the absolute importance of connectivity and easy access to the Internet to the development of a country.
This subject is the forte of Guyana-born Ian G. Hall who is now President and CEO of ATISS, a global company that specializes in IT security, data analytics, and policy and strategy development.”
Hall has worked as a consultant to the United States Department of Defense and joined the senator’s delegation to Guyana.
Data Architect and Cloud Technologist, Darren Culbreath, was also a member of the delegation, as was George Mallon of Mallon Oil, and Kirk D. Mitchell, a global Procurement Specialist.
