[dropcap]I[/dropcap]n 2016, a 12-member board of directors was appointed to oversee the operations of the Saint Lucia Tourist Board, with Agnes Francis serving as the board’s chairperson. Following the resignations of Director Louis Lewis and deputy director Tracy Warner-Arnold in October, Ms. Francis was then appointed executive chairperson.
Ms. Francis’s tenure came to an end on July 31, 2018. Her resignation letter states: “The transition from the Saint Lucia Tourist Board to the Saint Lucia Tourism Authority has been completed. My work has therefore come to an end. Our association has truly been a productive and positive one and I wish to thank you for this, and your contribution towards bringing the vision of the SLTA to reality.”
A statement released by the SLTA thanked Ms. Francis for her “inspiring leadership and dedicated contribution to the development of the tourism sector”.
Addressing Ms. Francis’s resignation this week, the prime minister’s Senior Communications Officer Nicole Mc Donald said: “It’s very clear that she has achieved what she set out to do at the tourism authority. She’s done some great work and she’s a respected person in the industry.”
Ms. Mc Donald went on: “I know that she continues to have the confidence and respect of this government. She did an excellent job in terms of transitioning the Saint Lucia Tourist Board to the Saint Lucia Tourism Authority.
“Her resignation does not mean she will no longer have input into the Tourism Authority she helped to put together. I can tell you that in the days ahead she will continue to work with the government in other capacities.”
