Private Sector Hall of Fame
Hon. Dennis Lalor, OJ
The Private Sector Organisation of Jamaica’s Hall of Fame was established in 1992. It is the premier event on the PSOJ’s calendar of events at which we publicly recognize an outstanding leader of the private sector.
The Private Sector Hall of Fame was designed to honour business leaders who have made significant contributions to the development of the private sector and our country and pays tribute to three important traits - successful entrepreneurship, leadership and character. The nominees should have served in Jamaica’s private sector for at least twenty-five years and should also have an in-depth knowledge of and commitment to his or her field and be of sound character and unquestionable integrity. High ethical standards should be the trademark of his or her business deals and practices. In addition, the nominees’ companies must be successful with above average growth.
Only one awardee is selected each year. However, at our inaugural dinner in 1992, there were two awardees. The founding President of the PSOJ, the late Honourable Carlton Alexander, OJ, CD, was posthumously inducted into the Hall of Fame, as was the late Honourable Paul Geddes, OJ.
The Hon. Dennis Lalor, OJ, Chairman, Insurance Company of the West Indies, was inducted into the Private Sector Hall of Fame at the Annual Hall of Fame Banquet, held on October 25, 2007 at theHilton Kingston Hotel.
As the special guest speaker at the banquet, Mr. Lalor urged greater focus on the talents of Jamaica’s citizens and encouraged the business sector to support the new government and for all Jamaicans to work together.
