The delegation ultimately included Vice Mayor Pro-Tem Jerry Davis (a PVAMU alumnus from the College of Education), members from the Greater Houston Partnership, Commissioner Theldon Branch from the Port of Houston, members of the Greater Houston Black Chamber of Commerce, and representatives from PVAMU and Texas Southern University. The PVAMU team representing President Simmons included Munir Quddus, dean, College of Business, Frank Jackson, assistant vice chair for governmental affairs, TAMUS and Oscar Taylor, Trustee, PVAMU Foundation (representing Gerard D’Souza, dean, College of Agriculture and Human Sciences). The PVAMU team arrived in the city of Nassau on Wednesday, Dec. 5, and later met a group of Bahamian alumni invited by Vernita Harris, a PVAMU College of Business alumna. As a member of IMPACT consulting, Harris served as the main organizer of this trade delegation. Harris also serves on the College of Business’s dean advisory board and works as a consultant in Bahamas, in addition to being a major donor to the university.
