FORMER Jamaican Prime Minister Bruce Golding delivered the ninth annual Caribbean International Network Lecture at New York City's fabled Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture. Considered by many as one of Jamaica's greatest orators and finest political thinker, Golding presented a stellar presentation on the topic "Jamaica's Challenges, Opportunities and Imperatives".
It was a methodical, thought-provoking examination of the hard economic issues facing the country and his prescription for achieving success in the areas of jobs, public safety, education, energy, national debt and decisive government decision making. Step by step unfolded his approach for achieving Vision 2030, Jamaica's first long-term National Development Plan which aims to put Jamaica in a position to achieve developed country status by 2030.

It was the largest turnout since the lecture launched eight years ago, according to CIN CEO Stephen Hill. He added the few outdoor protestors in no way distracted from the jubilant reception the 350 audience members gave Golding.
