When the now fledgling Women’s Chamber of Commerce and Industry Guyana (WCCIG) was launched, its recently elected president Rowena Elliot was skeptical.
Currently the community sales manager of the branch of Regus, a global workspace provider, Elliot, 32, told Stabroek Weekend in a recent interview that she had questioned the need for a chamber of industry and commerce to represent women.
The WCCIG was founded in June 2019 by Lyndell Danzie-Black and Karensa Granvesande-Bart. In 2020, Elliot was elected to the board of seven directors and this year was elected its President.
