Through their enduring commitment and tireless efforts, Sedley and Barry have helped create opportunities for young men in Jamaica to pursue education and personal growth.
Barry is currently the chapter’s secretary. He previously served as the organization's treasurer. Sedley is a member of the Chapter's board of directors and is well known for his role in coordinating the bar at the annual fundraising event..
Their dedication embodies the Fortis spirit, a commitment to excellence and service that Kingston College alumni around the world strive to uphold. The association's Georgia chapter has grown in strength and influence over the years, and the contributions of these two honorees have been instrumental in that journey.
