    • Increased involvement in the Diaspora.

    • Provide empowerment seminars for members such as investment seminars on housing/real estate, financial investment, here and in Jamaica, career development, tax strategies, etc. (integrate with Jampact Mixers.)
  • Promoting relationship building among Jampact membership
    • Get more involved in cultural events such as National Heritage Week in Jamaica (October) and Caribbean Heritage week here in NY.
    • Support concerts and cultural events. In addition to Brooklyn College.
    • Outreach to colleges and liaise with the student body.
    • We could also offer mentoring (by using a formal process) with this group as well.
  • Conduct a member's survey
