Georgetown: Applications for the seventh Annual Awards for Business Excellence are open to all Private Sector businesses in Guyana, including non– Guyana Business Coalition on HIV/AIDS (GBCHA) Members which are taking action on HIV and AIDS in the workplace and beyond. Applications should be submitted for organization programmes and initiatives that were undertaken in the past year. Also, nominations may be made on behalf of a company by another company, NGO or other agency.
The Annual Awards for Business Excellence is a signature event for the GBCHA, as it is an unparalleled opportunity to publicly recognize the unique and vital contributions made by the Private Sector towards HIV and AIDS prevention and elimination programmes in Guyana.
