The awards ceremony, held as part of the 2018 Uglobal Immigration Convention in Los Angeles, California, recognized the leadership of the top migration agencies worldwide, with a portion of the proceeds from the event expected to be donated to Willow International, a non-profit organization dedicated to the fight against human trafficking.
Prime Minister Harris, who was one of two officials given the opportunity to address the gala, stated that the black tie gala event represented a significant marketing value for St. Kitts and Nevis with tremendous opportunities for expanding the Federation’s CBI programme to new markets.
Dr. Harris commended the hundreds of immigration professionals for their commitment, support and diligence in maintaining the high standards of the global economic citizenship industry and for pressing forward with the advancement of the industry.
Also present at Sunday night’s awards ceremony were representatives Malta, Dominica, Saint Lucia and other CBI participating jurisdictions around the world.
