The Antigua & Barbuda Public Service Association (ABPSA) is gearing up for its 2024 Annual General Conference, which is set to take place on Friday, April 12th at the Villa Community Centre.

The conference will be the highest decision-making body within the organisation, and will feature a range of events and activities designed to promote unity, financial stability, and an open reflection on the past term.

The ABPSA is a professional association that represents public servants across Antigua and Barbuda, including both civil service workers and non-established employees.

With a membership that spans local, regional, and international bodies, the ABPSA is well-positioned to fulfill its mandate and advocate for the interests of public servants across the region.

During the conference, biennial elections will be held for eight executive positions, with current president Joan Peters announcing her intention to run for at least one more term.

Peters explains that the ABPSA is structured in a way that allows for democratic decision-making and effective leadership, with the conference serving as a critical platform for advancing the organization’s goals and objectives.

The conference will kick off on Thursday, April 11th under the theme “Stand Up and Stand Out in Unity.”

This theme reflects the ABPSA’s commitment to promoting unity and collaboration among its members, while also recognizing the unique contributions that each individual brings to the table.

The first day of the conference will focus on financial stability, reflecting on the past term, and setting a clear path forward. These discussions will then lead into day two, which will feature the highly-anticipated executive elections.

Overall, the ABPSA is poised to continue making a meaningful impact on the lives of public servants across Antigua and Barbuda, and the 2024 Annual General Conference is an important milestone in this ongoing journey..
