THE Grand Bahama Chamber of Commerce is not wasting any time getting back to business in the New Year, holding the first meeting of the new board of directors on Wednesday.

The new slate of business leaders reviewed the past year’s work and has started to formulate its plans for 2017.

The retreat provided an opportunity for new incoming board members to be familiar with the organisation’s work this year.

The meeting was held at Pelican Bay Resort Convention Centre in Lucaya and was chaired by newly elected President Mick Holding.

The GBCC is made up of local volunteer business leaders, working to promote and support business development in an effort to encourage growth and expansion in the Grand Bahama economy within a healthy and clean community environment.
