Kester Hutson has been elected new President of the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI).
He replaces outgoing President Timothy Tucker.
After the Private Sector body had facilitated its 133rd Annual General Meeting (AGM) virtually last week, the new Council held its first Statutory Council Meeting on Monday to elect, from its body, a new Executive Management Committee (EMC) for the year 2023-2024.
The EMC comprises a President, Senior Vice President, Junior Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary, and Immediate Past President. In that order, those elected are Kester Hutson of Dapper Technology Incorporated; Richard Rambarran of NCB Capital Markets (Guyana) Incorporated; Gavin Ramsoondar of Zarc Properties Incorporated; Orson Ferguson of GTT; Kathy Smith of Dover Waterproofing Technologies, and Timothy Tucker of Rid-O-Pes.

Insurance Brokers and Consultants Limited; Brian Edwards of Green Agro Services & Supplies; Mary Nagasar of Hand-in-Hand Mutual Fire and Life Insurance Companies; and Nadene Gilbert-Rambarran of Ascension Business Services.
During his stint as President, Tucker had used his platform to highlight that Guyana should successfully be able to meet the demands which emerge from growing industries. And for this he had urged greater unison between the Private Sector and the State.
Outgoing President Tucker, in his report last week, shared that numerous networking events had been hosted by the GCCI, and delegations from countries like the United Kingdom, United States, Spain, Finland, France, Romania, Jamaica, St Lucia and many others, were engaged. (G12)
