    PRESS RELEASE

    The St. Lucia Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture will host the Comptroller of Customs & Excise Department, Mr. Sherman Emmanuel, at its Executive Luncheon scheduled for June 11th, 2026, at The Harbor Club, where the business community will receive an update on the progress of customs reform and system improvements previously outlined by the Customs and Excise Department.

    The luncheon comes at a critical time for the private sector, as importers continue to face significant delays, inefficiencies and operational challenges associated with cargo clearance and port processes. These persistent issues continue to increase the cost of doing business and undermine competitiveness of the wider economy.

    Over the past year, the Chamber has engaged constructively and patiently with both the Customs and Excise Department, and the St. Lucia Air and Sea Ports Authority (SLASPA). The Customs and Excise Department made commitments regarding modernization, improved processing efficiency, digitalization and a stronger trade facilitation approach. The business community now expects measurable progress and tangible outcomes.

    The luncheon will provide an important opportunity for Customs to account for the introduction of promised reforms, while allowing members to provide direct feedback and share their operational experiences.

    With Government identifying ease of doing business and trade facilitation as national priorities, the engagement is expected to serve as an important indicator of the public sector’s commitment to reform, efficiency and private sector partnership. The Chamber in its review of the 2026/2027 Prime Minister’s Budget Address, flagged that the success of Government’s Policy Agenda hinges highly on the public sector delivering and improving their rate of execution.

    The Chamber encourages members and the wider business community to attend what is expected to be a timely, candid and solutions-oriented discussion on improving Saint Lucia’s trade and business environment.

    Return on Investment Consulting (ROIC) and The St. Lucia Chamber of Commerce, Industry & Agriculture, in Association with Cascade Strategy and Strategy Management Group, to Host Exclusive "Executive Circle" in St. Lucia

     

    CASTRIES, SAINT LUCIA – May 4, 2026 – Return on Investment Consulting (ROIC) and the Chamber of Commerce and Agriculture, in association with Cascade Strategy and Strategy Management Group, today announced they will co-host the Executive Circle St. Lucia. This will be an exclusive, invitation-only gathering of senior business leaders. The highly anticipated event will take place on June 18, 2026, at the Bay Gardens Hotel.

    Operating under the theme "Strategy-Led Performance: Closing the Execution Gap," the summit tackles a critical evolution in business leadership: the shift from static, annual business planning to dynamic, strategy-led execution.

    "Organizations across the Caribbean are realizing that static strategic plans are no longer sufficient in a rapidly changing environment," said Dwaine Forbes, CEO of Return on Investment Consulting. "The true differentiator is Strategy-Led Performance—creating a culture where strategy is dynamic, real-time visibility is the standard, and every team's daily work is directly connected to the organization's highest ambitions. The Executive Circle, brought to you in partnership with the Chamber and our global associates, provides a rare environment for regional leaders to discuss the real-world trade-offs, disciplines, and technologies required to make this pivot."

    The event will feature insights from globally recognized strategy experts and regional thought leaders, including:

    • Charlie Newark-French – CEO, Cascade Strategy, a global leader in strategy execution software.
    • Dwaine Forbes – CEO, Return on Investment Consulting (ROIC)
    • Adam Asch – Senior Consultant, Strategy Management Group

    Through candid panel discussions and actionable keynotes, the Executive Circle will explore critical pillars of business performance, including:

    • Execution as a Leadership Imperative: Shifting from planning to real-time execution and accountability.
    • Designing Strategies That Deliver: Breaking down silos to connect everyday tasks to measurable outcomes.
    • Executing Under Pressure: Making the right trade-offs between today's operational demands and tomorrow's strategic growth.
    • The Future of Strategy: Balancing human judgment with machine intelligence and execution platforms.

    The Executive Circle St. Lucia is a complimentary event, with attendance strictly limited to invited organizations to ensure a focused, peer-to-peer, and high-impact environment.
