St Kitts, St Maarten, and Jamaica are the leading countries that are able to comfortably host major conferences within the Caribbean region, according to Ackroyd Birmingham, treasurer of the Caribbean Confederation of Credit Unions and Conference Chairman.

"It?s really sad to know that only about five countries in the region have the ability and facilities to host conferences of about 400- 600 persons, as all of the other countries are unable to do so,? he said.

The conference director had high praise for the governments of St Maarten, St Kitts and Jamaica, noting that it will help to facilitate growth and advancement of those countries? economies. He said that he is exceptionally impressed with St Kitts, noting that it?s the smallest country and has demonstrated its ability to host these conventions.

Birmingham said that St Kitts last hosted the convention in 2005, stating that they did an exceptionally good job at it, with the assistance of Nevis Cooperative Credit Union. St Kitts has expressed a strong interest in again holding the convention next year.
