The Chamber of Commerce celebrates the success of our youth with annual graduation awards.
It is important that we nourish, support, and encourage the future generations of Cayman, and praising their hard work is an excellent way in which to do so.
This year, members of the Chamber Council attended some of the nearby schools to present the awards and plaques for the Class of 2016.
Chamber President, Paul Pearson awarded the Design & Technology Award to Tyra Iton of John Gray High School, and presented her with a plaque and a brand new laptop computer.
