The Jamaica Diaspora Advisory Board Members for the United States have by general consensus agreed to the joint convening of “ The Jamaica Diaspora USA Leadership Summit 2018 ”. This unified Summit represents a significant directional shift from the previous separate regional off-year conferences. This signals a new paradigm that although there may be nuisances unique to each of the three regions, the time is now for collaboration among the regions, laser focused and embarking on effectively increasing the capacity of the Jamaica Diaspora of the USA. This is an opportunity to meaningfully identify and leverage our resources to act uniformly as a Jamaican Diaspora to address the issues that uniformly affect us through the entire United States.
