We are a diverse team of Trinidad and Tobago nationals, residents and others with strong ties to the country, based both in Trinidad and Tobago and across the world united by our love for the country.

The team was formed in October 2020 and consists of around 100 persons from many professional and demographic backgrounds.

We are focused on the country’s development over the period 2021-2040 and we are creating plans to carry out this development

As persons who have benefited from the country’s economy and opportunities, ONE TT members want to help to create similar opportunities for others, especially our youth, many of whom are searching for better life quality and employment.

Our team covers a wide range of age groups, educational backgrounds and careers.  We strive to maintain economic, racial, geographical and cultural diversity. We are particularly interested in attracting young people since they are a large part of why we are doing this work – for their future.

We certainly do! There is also a Senior Advisory team made up of highly respected leaders and professionals in the country who have reached the top of their careers and who also wish to contribute to a non-partisan approach to national development.

We are not, we are non-partisan, politically neutral and non-aligned.  If you are related to or have a close association with anyone in politics, you would not be allowed to join. This is not an effort to create a political entity.

We will not ridicule, denigrate, attack, or embarrass any public official from any political party or Government office.

We have an established code of behaviours for our team members that will ensure we hold our members accountable for what they say, write, post on social media, or communicate in any other way, that may be potentially misaligned with the expectations and values of ONE TT.

• To mentor young professionals to be future leaders.

The team will develop strategic objectives and actions across approximately forty (40) national sectors. These will be developed by incorporating direct input from the public and other stakeholders, and then reviewed and critiqued by external experts and specialists.

These opportunities include self-sufficiency in food production; creation of new export markets and new export opportunities for agricultural exports; developing innovative tourism products in ecotourism, cuisine tourism and geological, historical and cultural tourism; improving our preventative health care systems and environmental protection.
