No offense to the lady; but c’mon man! She done retired and lived her best life - let someone else have an opportunity- geeezumbread!!!
Nonetheless, aging and geting mature, informed, experienced , is a blessing. Nothing personal against Mrs Rosalee Adams, but every generation needs its turn to get experience. How are they going to get experience if not given the opportunity? Effective succession planning is lacking in the BVI.. The narrow, elite, clique, etc, is handicapping the growth and development of the BVI. No doubt Mrs Adams got the capacity and ability to act but that is not the point. The point is having serve with distinction,,contributing immensely to growth and development, etc, we must step aside making room for the next generation.
Not sorry for what I said. You completely missed the point of succession planning and identifying capable, competent staff within the DG Office to take on the role instead of being in the position they are in today having to bring back an 80+ year old to ‘fill in’ while the DG is away.
Seems like your prehistoric brain cannot handle the truth that retired means exactly just that!! Now go back to your knitting or whatever you do after you take your meds.
This is what you call a "COMMAHENG."
