May 22, 2025 News

Kaieteur News- The Private Sector Commission has elected a new Executive Leadership at its 33rd Annual General Meeting which was held on Tuesday.

The newly elected members are: Chairman – Captain Gerald Gouveia Jr; Vice Chairman – Ms. Kathy Smith; Honourary Secretary – Dr. Clinton Urling; Treasurer – Mr. Imran Saccoor and Corporate Coordinator – Mr. Manniram Prashad.

In a press release, the PSC said that the Executive Committee will serve for the 2025–2026 term and will be responsible for driving the PSC’s strategic priorities, including promoting sustainable private sector development, enhancing public-private dialogue, and representing the interests of the business community at the national and regional levels.

A significant objective of the PSC under the new leadership will be the continued support for democracy and good governance, particularly through the Commission’s commitment to ensuring free and fair elections via its well-established Election Observer Mission.

“The Commission proudly notes the historic election of Ms. Kathy Smith as the first female Vice Chairman in the PSC’s history, an important milestone in the organization’s ongoing commitment to gender inclusion and diversity in leadership,” the release noted. The elected leadership, the PSC said, represents a cross-section of the Commission’s diverse membership base, drawn from key private sector organizations across the country. These include corporate representatives, the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI), and the Region 5 Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

“The PSC takes this opportunity to thank the outgoing Executive Committee for their leadership and service over the past year and looks forward to building on their achievements under the direction of the new leadership,” the release concluded.
