The Gold awards were presented to Parks Commissioner Anne Marie Martin and Michael Flerimus by Governor General Dame Louise Lake-Tack.

Five of the NPA’s outstanding employees have been with the NPA for over 30 years. They qualified as platinum awardees, earning themselves a cruise across the Caribbean. The awardees are Eloise Francis, Molviar Jackson, Brenda Skepple, Linroy Adams, and Marius Smith.

During the ceremony, the keynote address was delivered by former Parks Commissioner Errol James, who recalled the many outstanding Antiguans and Barbudans who have given their skills and talents to the NPA, and the other employees like the awardees who rose steadily through the ranks to positions of leadership.

The present Parks Commissioner, Anne Marie Martin, on behalf of all the awardees, expressed her delight about the entire ceremony and said the dedicated contribution of the employees has helped to distinguish the Nelson’s Dockyard National Park as an institution of high standards and excellence.
