A core subject between the Patron and members was ways to increase visibility of the programme and it was recommended that a print version of the bi-monthly newsletters be placed at public institutions.

At the end of the meeting it was clear that the JA programme will continue in its mandate of offering Saint Lucian youth an opportunity to develop business skills that will help them throughout their lives. The Board thanked the Governor General for her contribution and for taking the time to meet with them.
