Committees
The operation of the Chamber is subdivided into services and activities that is championed by the organization’s committees, in its role as economic advisor and business advocate. These Committees were formulated with a mandate to act in and protect the interest of the business community on national issues which play a crucial role in Jamaica’s socio-economic development.
The Chamber activities and services takes the form of networking opportunities, facilitating ingoing and outgoing trade missions, linkages between our members, local and overseas sources and outlets for goods and services; lobbying government on matters affecting trade and the business industry among other services.
