The Chamber also boasts members such as Jamaica’s Consul General to Miami, Hon. Franz Hall who is an honorary member; Jamaica’s Honorary Consul to Atlanta, Hon. Jewel Scott; President of the Atlanta Jamaican Association, Alan Stewart; former Civil Servant and adviser to the Prime Minister of Jamaica, Percival Griffiths and Dr. Basil Kong retired CEO of the Association of Black Cardiologists.

Happy to know that the Jamaicans living in Atlanta care about Jamaica. Mr. Percival Griffiths one of the members of this newly formed organization is one of the most decent and honest Jamaican I have ever known -- an indication that there is integrity in this organization. Good luck my friends!
