Public officers’ work lays the blocks for VI development- Mrs DaBreo-Lettsome

“I promise you this, every time you clock into work, every stroke of pen, every day you turn your computer on and every meeting, lays the blocks for the development of the Virgin Islands we envision. The Virgin Islands we want to see for our children, grandchildren and great grandchildren,” she said.

Mrs DaBreo-Lettsome also thanked public officers for their sacrifices, brilliance and dedication.

“You are beyond appreciated,” she stated.

Congratulatory remarks were also made by His Excellency the Governor, Mr. Daniel Pruce and Deputy Governor, Mr David D. Archer Jr who expressed their profound gratitude to the public officers for their years of service and thanked them for their dedication throughout trying times.

    awards are nice but they can't pay bills, give those of us who do the real work proper salaries that are in line with standards paid by other countries

      You are a jealous person. If they did nothing you won't have, passports, pay taxes, get fishing licenses, buy land, water, garbage collection to name a few services you benefit from.

      Healthcare workers fall under the BVIHSA. They should be the ones to hand out such recognition. They are the ones who would evaluate all their employees. I will note however, we are a statutory body under the government.

    A heartfelt thank you to our dedicated public servants for reminding us that self interest is also in the interest of the public.

    Health care workers are not qualified for this kind of service rewards for good work
