    What, they could not find a qualified Antiguan and Barbudan for the Airport CEO position?? Another yes woman for the Gaston administration. I see she has a lot of experience; however, I didn’t read anything mention of anti-terrorism skills which is very important when managing an international airport. Another thing, I thought you had to have a PhD to lecture at UWI or any university.

    Well she certainly possessthe requisite knowledge carefully blend and mixed with e experience. I also find that professuonals who lecture at university level keep up-to-date with current trends and bring that critical thinking and acumen to bear to the job. What I didnt see in terms of knowledge is the operational skill-set in terms of risk management and in particular in the event of terrorism and other issues or emergent issues and strategic analysis in the event of emergencies. Anyone can steer a ship when the sea is calm! I do wish this expert all the very best and hope she will contribute to our UWI campus in Antigua and Barbuda
