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 has been a joy to bring
ACOCI Connection from the one page format I inherited at the end of 2006, to the current eight
page magazine it is today. Soon it will grow again and I am happy to have been instrumental in its
success.

Chamber's President, John Benjamin, presenting me with the award.
