(SCC) — The countdown is on! The Saipan Chamber of Commerce is gearing up for its November general membership meeting or GMM, happening next Wednesday, Nov. 5, 2025, at Hibiscus Hall, Crowne Plaza Resort Saipan, a proud Chamber member.
With just one week left, the Chamber invites members and interested guests to secure their seats for one of the most anticipated meetings of the year. This month’s GMM promises important committee updates, exclusive presentations, and timely discussions on issues shaping the CNMI business community.
The program will feature a keynote presentation by Dr. Esther L. Muna, CEO of the Commonwealth Healthcare Corporation. Dr. Muna will provide an insightful overview of fiscal year 2025, highlighting key advancements in medical diagnostics, preventive and clinical care, facility improvements, and the Health Network Program’s achievements.

The Spotlight Presentation will feature Thomas A. Manglona II, editor-in-chief of Marianas Press, as the organization proudly celebrates its first anniversary this November. Manglona will reflect on the company’s journey over the past year, sharing milestones, lessons learned, and what’s next for the growing local media organization.
