The History of CRMI
Introduction
Caribbean Resource Magazine International began in 1992 as an inspiration by the founder Keith A. Thomas to highlight the formidable small Caribbean businesses making a positive mark in the American business community in South Florida. Back then, as now, it was very important to demonstrate to the community that Caribbean business entrepreneurs have the drive and intellect to deliver quality products and services, and succeed in this competitive and challenging business environment. The magazine also focused on important attractions, resources and business opportunities many Caribbean countries had to offer to international community. During the 90's CRM International was a paperback magazine (on your left) distributed throughout South Florida in Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties. Today, CRM International will reach a much greater audience with Caribbean Resource Magazine International online: www.CRMIonline.com.
