Jamaica’s business elite turned out in full force for the Jamaica Chamber of Commerce’s 41st Annual Awards & Dinner at the Jamaica Pegasus hotel on Thursday, June 11. Held under the theme ‘Building Forward: Recognising Excellence in Recovery, Resilience & Growth’, the black-tie affair brought together leading executives, entrepreneurs, policymakers and industry stakeholders for an evening celebrating the business community.

One of the evening’s most poignant moments came with the presentation of the Resilience In Action honour, which recognised individuals and organisations whose leadership, service and commitment played a vital role in supporting Jamaica’s recovery following Hurricane Melissa.
