Panmedia is developing a family business website that will be added to the Private Sector Organisation of Jamaica’s site we launched in June 2008. The online presence is part of a larger project to improve the competitiveness of family business through corporate governance, according to Project Director Sandra Shirley.

The project, Developing Modern Family Business in Jamaica, will use this section of the PSOJ site to disseminate case studies and other documentation and to engage business owners. It includes training and technical assistance for selected family-controlled, micro, small and medium-sized enterprises in Jamaica.
