Subject: Contact re event at commonwealth house
Dear Dr. Noxolo,
I am a lecturer and PhD researcher at Reading University and I am working with a social enterprise called the Caribbean Enterprise Network (CEN) on its official launch at Commonwealth House in March next year. CEN’s goal is to engage and leverage diaspora talent. They have brokered agreements with the Jamaica Stock Exchange and the Jamaica Small Business Association to utilize diaspora talent to support Jamaican SMEs, facilitated investment by the Nigeria based, Courtville Group, in the Caribbean and they are working with the Cumbrian Tourism Organization to support small accommodation providers in Tobago and Jamaica.
The launch will be attended by commonwealth decision makers, ambassadors and senior diaspora professionals from the UK and the Caribbean. I along with other organisers are meeting with a representative of the commonwealth secretariat on Wednesday 12th December to finalise details of the event.
We would like to identify academics of commonwealth extraction whose work focuses on influencing policy in areas such as but not limited to, business, trade or culture. I wondered if you or anyone at the Society for Caribbean Studies might be interested in joining us at Commonwealth House next year.
I would be delighted to hear from you.
Best wishes,
Nick
