Governance

Developing the Pillar of Governance in an institution is never an easy task, it requires constant communication between the branches of the organisation. Communication is for accessing the needs of the body in order to best cater to the needs of its members. As I seek to enhance the council's governance operations, I am seeking to expand the membership of the Executive from nine (9) positions to fifteen (15) functional roles thus creating the space needed for the additional human resources. These new roles shall enable the Barbados Youth Development Council (BYDC) to: have better communication lines with General Assembly; and address key areas of focus in the new National Youth Policy of Barbados, such as sports, recreation, arts, culture, gender, and youth affairs. This Council has continued to evolve and now post-COVID-19 must evolve again to not just provide advisement on government policies and projects but to also nurture grassroots advocacy by aiding in the filling of the social prescriptions. The Council will develop the minds of our nation's children through positive engagement, offering the social skills needed to thrive in this life. I will help building a council for generations to come, shaping a solid foundation for our children to develop upon.
