Deodat Indar was on Thursday reelected to serve a second term as President of the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI).
The business group held its 128th Annual General Meeting at the Roraima Duke Lodge in Guyana’s capital Georgetown on March 29 where 21 Councilors were elected out of a total of 50 nominees.

The new EMC is composed of a President, Senior Vice-President, Junior Vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer.
Mr. Indar told OilNOW following the election of the new EMC that he will continue to focus heavily on the development of a robust local content framework that would allow Guyanese businesses to maximize benefits from the oil and gas industry. “I will continue to push heavily for Guyanese businesses to benefit from and capitalize on the growing opportunities in the country’s emerging oil and gas industry.
