Trailblazing Jamaican-American attorney makes successful visit to explore business opportunities
HOT on the heels of snatching the National Diversity Council (NDC) 2023 Woman of the Year award in Florida, Jamaican-American trailblazing attorney Alison Smith chose Jamaica as the first place to make an exploratory three-day business trip last week.
Smith, who is currently serving out her historic term as the first black president of the almost century-old Broward County Bar Association (BCBA), was accompanied by Jamaican-American attorney Marlon Hill, a partner in the law firm Weiss Serota Helfman Cole & Bierman, at which she works.
Here are some of the stops they made while here:
United States Ambassador to Jamaica Nick Perry (second left) and Deputy Chief of Mission Amy Tachco (third left) welcomed Alison Smith, newly crowned Woman of the Year in South Florida, and partner in her firm, Marlon Hill, who paid a courtesy call on them at the Kingston Embassy last week.
