Executive Director of the Barbados Chamber of Commerce & Industry (BCCI) Mrs. Lisa Gale will participate in the Latin America and the Caribbean Global Summit 2014 to be held in Sao Paulo, Brazil on 10 June 2014. This event brings together some of the most important business and government leaders worldwide where present and future opportunities for investment and development in Latin America and the Caribbean is discussed.

The meeting emerged as an outcome of the First CEO Summit of the Americas, held in Colombia in 2012, which brought together 13 Heads of State and more than 700 business leaders, setting a hallmark in the public-private dialogue of the region. Since then, the IDB has been working closely with some of the region’s business leaders and associations to consolidate a high-level dialogue mechanism and build a private sector shared agenda.

Participants in this year’s dialogue include the Canadian Council for the Americas (CCA) and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce (USCC) among many others. BCCI is pleased to be among the institutions invited to share in this important dialogue.
