by Bajan Reporter / January 13th, 2021 It has been a very tough year for civil society professionals in Barbados and at the BANGO’s Christmas Gathering which was held at the Marriott Hotel on December 18th, in partnership with the Marriott, professionals in the sector were reminded to take care of themselves as well. Over 20 CSO leaders and team members gathered to reconnect and unwind on the terrace of the Marriott, observing COVID-19 protocols, with light refreshments and soft Christmas music. They discussed their work but also found time to network and engage with each other in a genuine effort to seek synergies and new ways going forward.
