Kathryn Silvera this week made history to become the first woman president of the Jamaica Manufacturers and Exporters Association (JMEA), and has indicated that she will be using this opportunity to push for greater inclusion of women in Jamaica’s productive sectors.
Speaking to the Jamaica Observer following her appointment at an annual general meeting held by the JMEA at The Summit in Kingston, Silvera said she is committed to increasing the representation of women in manufacturing and export — two areas in which she believes female participation remains limited.
