Innovative approach to collective action

- MARK J. GOLDING, MP Leader of the Opposition

The PSOJ has as its core, the goal of being a unifying voice for the private sector. Its approach in pursuing this vision has been constructi­ve, working in tandem with the public sector and civil society to deliver on Jamaica’s Vision 2030.

THE PRIVATE Sector Organisati­on of Jamaica (PSOJ) has achieved 45 years of operations, and I wish to congratula­te the PSOJ and all its members on reaching this milestone. Happy anniversar­y!

The PSOJ has been steadfast in ensuring that companies, corporate partners and individual members look beyond the interests of their individual firms and contribute meaningful­ly to national developmen­t. Over the past several months, many of your members have played an important role in fighting the COVID-19 pandemic. For the PSOJ’s commitment to this critical national task, and its innovative approach to collective action, I salute you and thank you for your valuable service to Jamaica.

The PSOJ has as its core, the goal of being a unifying voice for the private sector. Its approach in pursuing this vision has been constructi­ve, working in tandem with the public sector and civil society to deliver on Jamaica’s Vision 2030. With this enlightene­d approach, it is generally accepted that the PSOJ occupies an important space in our national discourse.

Our democracy is strengthen­ed when all sectors of society are engaged in public affairs in pursuit of the best interests of Jamaica, fairly and courageous­ly encouragin­g our leaders to adhere to the laws of the land and their commitment­s made to the public. The PSOJ aspires to execute this important role with great commitment and efficacy, which is the source of its benign influence on our body politic.

Happy 45th anniversar­y to the PSOJ!
