Jennifer Griffith’s contributions to Jamaican tourism span long-term destination planning, investment in the sector’s development and retirement security for its workers. This December, the Caribbean Media Exchange (CMEx) will recognize that record of public service at its 2026 Leadership Awards and Fundraiser. Griffith, permanent secretary in Jamaica’s Ministry of Tourism, will be honored on Sunday, Dec. 6, at Loews Coral Gables Hotel in South Florida, alongside fellow leaders whose work has advanced tourism, media and community development across the Caribbean.
