A Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) team, headed by leader Bruce Golding is now in Atlanta, United States for a two-day visit.

The team, which included the opposition leader’s wife, Lorna, spokesperson on finance Audley Shaw, and spokesperson for industry, commerce and investment promotion Senator Shirley Williams, was yesterday scheduled to make courtesy calls on Ambassador Andrew Young of Goodworks International, Georgia’s Governor Sonny Perdue and Atlanta’s Mayor Shirley Franklin.

They were also to meet with members of Atlanta’s business community at a business leaders’ breakfast, attend a fund-raising reception and be a part of several media interviews including one with the Atlanta affiliate of CBS, a major American media network.

Today, Golding and his party are again slated to have several media interviews, attend a business luncheon and address a community town-hall meeting with members of the Jamaican Diaspora at the Georgia Perimeter College, Clarkston Campus.

Golding and his party are scheduled to return to Jamaica tomorrow.

Several business groups sponsored the visit of the team, the JLP said.
