Limahl Totogi has returned as the Chairman of the Young Entrepreneurs Council Solomon Islands (YECSI) for 2026.
Mr Totongi was unopposed for the position during YECSI’s 8th Annual General Meeting on Wednesday this week.
The meeting was held at the Honiara City Council (HCC) youth hub attended by than 60 YECSI members.
Participants included Honiara-based members as well as members from the provinces.
In a statement, the outgoing board highlighted a key milestone, noting that it was the first board to serve a two-year term after a constitutional amendment was passed at the previous AGM extending board tenure.
Following a week-long nomination period that drew submissions from across the country, the election concluded with Totogi returning unopposed to lead the organisation for another term.
His re-election marks his second term in office since first assuming the chairmanship in 2024.
The Vice Chair position also attracted a single nomination, resulting in Esther Yates Pollard being confirmed as Vice Chairlady.
Additionally, three new board members were elected during the AGM namely; Creina Desonia Tapalaboe, Owner of LexCre Enterprise, Aldrin Piohite, Owner of Kava Haus and Junior John Wanofafia, Owner of Cab it.
In his remarks, Totogi acknowledged the contributions of the outgoing board, commending their leadership during challenging periods while also achieving a benchmark year for YECSI in 2025.
He emphasized the importance of unity and a shared commitment to empowering young people across the Solomon Islands.
YECSI also expressed gratitude to its sponsors and partners, particularly the Solomon Islands Government through key ministries, including the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Commerce, Industries, Labour and Immigration, and the Ministry of Women, Youth, Children and Family Affairs.
The organisation further acknowledged its founding partners, the Solomon Islands Chamber of Commerce and Industries (SICCI), for its continued support.
