Message from the President
Fellow directors and staff, it is
with mixed emotions that I advise of my decision to demit office as your
president effective
It is an open secret that I hold
special political interest in the High Rock Constituency. The time has therefore come for me to focus
my total energies on finding creative ways to help empower its residents and
drive the economy of
The Grand Bahama Chamber of Commerce has made gigantic steps in recent times, and it must continue to remain relevant. The future will be equally challenging; but I encourage each of you to stay the course. You have done it before, and can do it again!
I remain committed to the ideals of our Chamber, and will do all that I can to assist its efforts. My businesses will retain their respective membership, and I have also instructed that they become active in the evolving Freeport Licensee Association.
My hope is that the Freeport Licensee Association would eventually become a member of the Grand Bahama Chamber of Commerce, and utilize its facilities for business and networking purposes.
Many thanks to each of you for the support I received. Thanks also to Friends of the Chamber. Their assistance is invaluable to your continued future growth.
Long live the Grand Bahama Chamber of Commerce!
With prayerful thoughts,
Doswell C. Coakley, Ph.D., FCICA
