The Chamber Council has conferred honorary membership to Cardinall DaCosta, one of 10 Chamber founding members.

President Barry Bodden presented Mr. DaCosta with the honour at his 80th birthday celebration at the Marriott Resort on 31st March.

“Over the years, Cardinall DaCosta has been an active and engaged member and contributor to the Chamber’s success. He has been an outspoken advocate for the development of the tourism and merchant sectors and has looked beyond his business interests to speak out when necessary to protect and preserve the Caymanian way of life. His efforts led to the establishment of the Public Beach in George Town and the protection of beach access along Seven Mile Beach. He has championed and supported numerous causes over the years and the Chamber Council, membership and staff sincerely thank him for his outstanding service to the association as well as to the community as a whole,” said President Bodden.

Mr. DaCosta owns Puritan Cleaners and has been involved with the Association since its founding in 1965.
