Jamaica’s ongoing recovery efforts following the passing of Hurricane Melissa received a significant boost on Wednesday night (May 27) as the United States Department of State announced an additional US$2.5 million in humanitarian assistance during the American Chamber of Commerce of Jamaica (AmCham Jamaica) Business & Civic Leadership and Corporate Social Responsibility Awards and 40th Anniversary Gala, held at the Jamaica Pegasus Hotel.

AmCham Jamaica turns forty this year, four decades since its founding in 1986, when a group of American businesses operating in Jamaica, including founding member Sherwin Williams Jamaica Limited, came together to formalise a shared commitment to strengthening trade and investment between Jamaica and the United States.

The American Chamber of Commerce of Jamaica (AmCham Jamaica) has officially opened nominations for its Business & Civic Leadership and Corporate Social Responsibility Awards, ahead of the organisation's flagship 40th Anniversary Gala scheduled for May 27, 2026, at the Jamaica Pegasus Hotel in Kingston.
