"Investment Opportunities in the Diaspora"

‘Investment Opportunities in the Diaspora,’ a round-table breakfast hosted by The American Chamber of Commerce related important issues surrounding an investment outlook within the Diaspora. Guest speaker, Marlon Hill, Partner of delancyhill, P. A. – a professional association and attorneys-at-law, examined these issues amongst three main themes, namely: Assessing the Diaspora Market, Investment Opportunities (Jamaica vs. Diaspora), and Business and Legal Pre-requisites for market entry.

Mr. Hill elaborated on the themes from an engaging perspective which sought to encapsulate the several opportunities offered through their unique relationship, a relationship that foresees Jamaica and the Diaspora in a global community that shares a relevant context as follows:
• Jamaicans Overseas – An Important Network
• The Diaspora – Overseas Markets and Foreign Direct Investments
• Strategic Links – Organizational Resource and Partnerships
The underlying themes discussed by Mr. Hill expressed a passionate appeal for the Diaspora and the opportunities that abound within this global marketplace.

The proceedings were opened by R. Anthony Jenkinson, Immediate Past President of AMCHAM and Managing Partner of Nunes, Scholefield, DeLeon & Co., which sponsored the breakfast. President Audrey Marks chaired the function and in her remarks expressed appreciation to AMCHAM V-P and Jamaica Public Service President, Charles Matthews, who leaves the island in July. In a surprise raffle, 2nd Vice-President of the Jamaica Civil Service Association, Marcia Higgins secured complimentary legal services from delancyhill for the company and trademark registration services in the United States. AMCHAM Member, Peter Couch also offered a prize coupon for lunch at Whatson Café at Devon House, which was won by Nicole Sharp of the University of the West Indies Endowment Fund.
