The GCCI’s Code of Conduct
Stabroek News | May 21, 2010
In October 2008 the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI) undertook a review of its Code of Conduct which sets out the general principles and guidelines to which its members ought correctly to commit themselves as good corporate citizens. The chamber’s executive director and its Security and Governance Committee are responsible for the enforcement, implementing and monitoring of the code though there are few details of the instruments through which those pursuits are realized or any information regarding sanctions – if indeed any were envisaged – for non-compliance with the Code of Conduct.
The Georgetown Chamber and the state of the urban business community Part 1
Stabroek News, May 21, 2010
Thumbing through the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry’s (GCCI) 2009 Annual Report recently I was surprised to learn that the organisation is now more than 120 years old and that its recently elected President, Komal Ramnauth, is the 46th person to have served in that position. The article in the report titled “GCCI Celebrated 120 Years of Service To The Guyana Business Community” provided an excellent assessment of the work of the chamber over those years including, particularly, its exchanges with government and with delegations from abroad on matters pertaining to the welfare of the urban business community. Additionally, the list of “Past and Present Presidents of the GCCI” includes the names of some true stalwarts of urban commerce in Guyana: like Richter, D’Aguiar, Jardim, Gajraj, et al. In sum, what the article does is to attest to the richness of Georgetown’s history as Guyana’s commercial capital as well as to the sustained contribution which the GCCI has made to sustaining that tradition.
