Miss Jane honoured by Business Bureau
The Dr. Marla Holder Award is an honour given every year by the Belize Business Bureau to a woman who has made a significant contribution to women’s development. This year it has been bestowed upon Jane Usher. The popular head of the Holy Redeemer Credit Union has been elected to the House of Representatives twice by the people of the Pickstock Division and served as President of the senate. The list of achievements goes on and this afternoon News 5 found out her greatest accomplishment at a reception held in her honour.
