The Anguilla Chamber of Commerce and Industry
honoured me with an Outstanding Achievement Award
for writing and editing ACOCI Connection, the
Chamber's newsletter. I was very pleased (and
surprised!) to be recognised for my work with the
publication. It was a joy to bring ACOCI Connection
from the one page format I inherited at the end of 2006,
to the eight page magazine it is today. I am proud to
have been instrumental in its success.

General Meeting in January 2008, shows the Chamber's
President, John Benjamin, presenting me with the
award.
