Advisory Boards

The JCC's Conference Board (JCB) is a research and advisory body that provides a platform for the development and exchange of business knowledge.

Through close interaction with its membership base and partners, the JCB acquires information on key economic and public policy matters, and in turn disseminates this within its membership. This allows for Board partners and other participants in Board-driven activities to anticipate and act on the new realities of the dynamic world economy.

The Board is a non-profit organisation whose development arose because of a perceived need for more objective information and greater transparency in Jamaica 's business processes. It is a project of the Jamaica Chamber of Commerce and has received start-up assistance from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).

MISSION

The aim of the JCB is to provide key decision makers with the knowledge and information needed to make better business decisions. Our goal is to help create more profitable and sustainable private sector businesses in Jamaica . We also work with government entities to make them more responsive to the needs of the private sector, in particular, to make them more business friendly.

The Conference Board does not seek to dictate business decisions, rather the aim is to provide businesses with the best information possible, enabling them to make the right choices.
