RELEASE Who: The Association of
Bi-National Chambers of Commerce in Florida What: Annual Gala Dinner
& Award for Leadership in Global Trade 2016 to Hon.
Laurent Lamothe former Prime Minister of Haiti. When: Thursday, November
17th, 2016 at 6.30pm Where: The Biltmore
Hotel, Coral Gables; Reservations: news@abicc.org The Association of Bi-National
Chambers of Commerce of Florida (ABiCC) elects former
Prime Minister of Haiti, Laurent S. Lamothe, the winner
of the ABiCC 2016 Award for Leadership in Global Trade. ABICC and its 40
Bi-Nationals Chambers of Commerce representing countries
from Latin America, Caribbean, Asia, Africa and Europe
will have its annual black tie Gala dinner in honor of
Hon. Laurent Lamothe, former Prime Minister of Haiti. The
venue will take place at the luxurious Biltmore Hotel in
Coral Gables on Thursday, November 17th,
2016, at 6.30pm. The Board of Directors of ABICC
elected Mr. Laurent Lamothe as the winner of the
ABIC Award for Leadership in Global Trade 2016, out of an
extensive list of international leaders. The
President of ABICC, Mrs. Lita Haeger, expressed “we
are thrilled and honored to be able to award Mr Lamothe
for all his extraordinary achievements during his time as
Prime Minister of Haiti, and also for his enormous sense
of social responsibility towards the people in need in
Haiti. Under his leadership, he made historic changes
against all odds, at a crucial and difficult time in the
country after the devastating earthquake of 2010. We are
looking forward to having many Haitians at the Gala, as
well as the international business community of
South Florida, to celebrate and honor this wonderful
person, Hon. Laurent Lamothe.” Laurent S. Lamothe successfully
served as Prime Minister of Haiti between May 2012 and
December 2014, the longest tenure of any Prime Minister
in the last three decades. During his time in
office, he presided over the design and implementation of
an important social policy agenda targeting the poorest
sectors of the Haitian population. He also presided
over the largest infrastructure development in recent
memory that including schools, bridges, and roads that
are clearly visible throughout Haiti. Furthermore, under Laurent Lamothe,
foreign direct investment increased to its highest level
since the fall of the Duvalier dictatorship in the mid
1980s. Under his leadership Haiti pursued reforms that
made it a safer and more business-friendly country
including 15-year tax holidays and tax breaks to
companies investing in the island nation. The police
force was increased by 30 percent. He brought to the office of Prime
Minister an entrepreneurial spirit and dynamism that
earned him the title of “Entrepreneur of the
Year” by Ernst and Young in May 2008.
More recently in November 2014, Latin Trade magazine
recognized his innovative skills naming him the
year’s Innovative Leader of the Americas. Latin
Trade noted that Lamothe “helped establish a
paradigm shift for Haiti as a destination for investment,
rather than simply for humanitarian aid. “ Having grown up in a country
affected by poverty and lack of resources at all levels,
Laurent Lamothe has developed a deep sense of social
responsibility throughout his life and a strong tendency
to assist those in need. He is a pragmatist who
throughout his role in the public sector emphasized
practical solutions over partisan politics to address the
urgent needs of Haiti. He obtained a Bachelor of Arts in
political science from Barry University in Miami and in
1996 earned his MBA with honors from University of St.
Thomas. In 1998 he founded Global Voice Group SA (GVG)
today considered a world-leading provider of ICT
solutions for telecoms and fiscal authorities. He served
as CEO of GVG until he stepped down to assume his public
sector duties with the government of Haiti. In July 2015, He established LSL
World Initiative (LSL), a global organization
specializing in innovative financing for development and
dedicated to the socio-economic empowerment of developing
and emerging countries. LSL focuses on a specific kind of
transformational financing which is totally controlled by
the respective government, can be applied as a direct
response to its national priority development needs and
does not rely on donor funding or incur any additional
debt. In December 2015, Laurent Lamothe
founded the Louis G Lamothe Foundation in honor and
memory of his father Louis G Lamothe. The Foundation
focuses on inclusive social entrepreneurship and a Think
Tank wilI focus on the strategies that will lead Haiti
towards emerging country status by 2041. Two recent
sustainable development projects which will be
implemented through the Foundation are the Smart Villages
initiative: to provide off-grid communities with
sustainable energy and the Nan Pangnol sustainable
agriculture project. The Association of Bi-National
Chambers of Commerce of Florida (ABiCC) will be present
the annual award to Prime Minister Lamothe during its
annual Gala Dinner to be held on Thursday, November 17th,
at the Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables. For further information, and
