FREEPORT, Grand Bahama - Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Works and Urban Development, the Hon. Philip Davis said more young Bahamians need to be encouraged to join the ranks of engineers, in his address of the Northern Branch of the Bahamas Society of Engineers at their 2015 Grand Bahama Annual Meeting and Workshop Luncheon at Ruby Swiss Restaurant on Thursday.
The Deputy Prime Minister commended the Northern Branch for pursuing new opportunities for their members and remaining abreast of new trends in engineering.
As on previous occasions, Mr. Davis repeated his call for the community to embrace the locally registered professional engineers in major developments from the outset and not as an afterthought.
Reminding the group that the Northern Bahamas includes other islands in the north, Deputy Prime Minister Davis said he flew in from Abaco having addressed The Bahamas Business Outlook Seminar under the theme, "Securing Our Abaco Through Partnership, Planning and Productivity."
He said, "Partnership, Planning and Productivity is a theme that should symbolize the dynamics of the relationship between the islands of the Northern Bahamas, the business community and your Society. It is only through Partnership, Planning and Productivity that you benefit from the skills and the opportunity that your community affords."
