THIS week, October 10-13, US Embassy Nassau launches its journey beyond Nassau to further strengthen the US relationship with Bahamians across the archipelago. The US Embassy’s first stop on #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 US 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 businesses. Anyone interested in attending can register on the U.S. Embassy’s Facebook page.

With over 300 AWE alumnae across The Bahamas, the US 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 invitation only.
