The Governor General

MESSAGE FROM HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL THE MOST HON. SIR PATRICK ALLEN ON, GCMG, CD, KSt.J

The theme of the Jamaica Civil Service Association’s (JCSA) 102nd Annual General Meeting “Persistent and Consistent, advocating for the Worker: Moving from Surviving to Thriving,” captures the essence of the rewards that can be attained by employees giving their best service. It also inspires hope for the over 30,000 Civil Servants and underscores - membership empowerment - a key pillar of the JCSA’s Strategic Plan.

Attaining 102 years of existence is no small feat for any organization. I, therefore, congratulate the JCSA on this achievement while remaining relevant, vibrant and progressive throughout the years.

As the JCSA pivots, devises new strategies and plans for the future in the new norm and challenging circumstances, I encourage you to identify ways in which you can continue to meet the expectations of your members.

This Annual General Meeting is taking place at a time of significant change in the Public Service as efforts continue to streamline and rationalize the sector. I trust that the deliberations will be meaningful and equip participants with more efficient strategies to enhance the quality of work they perform for the effective governance of the country.

Continue to display the highest professional standards as you set the stage for many more years of valuable public service delivery in Jamaica.

His Excellency The Most Hon. Sir Patrick Allen ON, GCMG, CD, KSt.J
