Kaieteur News – The Black Entrepreneurs Association (BEA) successfully held its inaugural Annual General Meeting (AGM) on Saturday, June 27, at Herdmanston Lodge Hotel in Queenstown, Georgetown where it elected a new executive to lead the organization.

The event marked a significant milestone for the organisation as members gathered to elect a dynamic team of leaders to steer the Association forward, BEA said in a press release.  According to the release a diverse pool of talented entrepreneurs was nominated by their peers to contribute their expertise and passion to the BEA. Following a rigorous election process, the following members were elected to serve on the Board of Directors: Abbigale Loncke-Watson, Ayodele Dalgety-Dean, Yonnick David, Daneile Hicks-Burnett, Lance Hinds, Richard Collymore, Rowen Willabus, Stacey Mollison, and Joel Simpson. Subsequently, the newly-elected Board of Directors convened its first meeting last Saturday, August 3, to elect the executive roles on the Board of Directors and the results were: Chairperson, Rowen Willabus; Vice-Chairperson, Ayodele Dalgety-Dean; Secretary, Lance Hinds; Treasurer, Daneile Hicks-Burnett; and Assistant Secretary, Joel Simpson.

This newly elected team is poised to drive the BEA’s mission of empowering Black entrepreneurs, fostering economic growth, and creating a thriving business community in Guyana. The Association is excited about the opportunities ahead and looks forward to collaborating with its members and other stakeholders to achieve shared goals.  The Black Entrepreneurs Association (BEA) is a non-profit organisation dedicated to supporting and uplifting Black entrepreneurs in Guyana. Formed in May 2020, BEA aims to create a robust ecosystem for Black-owned businesses to thrive through mentorship, networking, education, and advocacy.
