This week, October 10-13, U.S. Embassy Nassau kicks off its journey beyond Nassau to further strengthen the U.S. relationship with Bahamians across the archipelago.  The U.S. Embassy’s first stop on our #JusRoad242 tour is Grand Bahama, followed by visits to Bimini, Abaco, Exuma, and Long Island.
 
“Our goal is to extend our reach beyond New Providence and deepen our ties with Bahamians across the Lucayan archipelago.  I look forward to meeting with local leaders and community activists in the Family Islands,” said U.S. Embassy Chargé, Usha Pitts.
 
While in Grand Bahama, the Embassy will provide passport and citizenship services by appointment at the Pelican Bay Resort Conference Room from Tuesday, October 10 to Thursday, October 12.  All applicants are asked to bring their original documentation and copies as directed on the Embassy’s website.
 
On Wednesday, October 11 at 6pm, the Embassy will hold the 4th annual Academy for Women Entrepreneurs (AWE) information session.  The meeting will be held in Pelican Bay Hotel’s Delphine Room.  The Embassy encourages all local businesswomen and aspiring entrepreneurs to attend this FREE event and learn how to launch and grow their business.  Anyone interested in attending can register on the U.S. Embassy’s Facebook page. 
 
With over 300 AWE alumnae across The Bahamas, the U.S. Embassy is also excited to partner with Access Accelerator and the Women Investment Group (WIG) to launch the AWE Bahamas Alumni Network at the Pelican Bay Hotel on Thursday, October 12.  This event is by invite only.
