NASSAU, Bahamas - The
Co-Chairs of the local Steering Committee:
Tara Cooper Burnside and Janet Johnson are delighted to share that HRH
The Princess Royal, Princess Anne, President of the
Caribbean-Canada Emerging Leaders’ Dialogue (CCELD) will be
arriving Nassau on Sunday 27 September, 2015 as the first stop on her pop-in
tour of the
Dialogue taking place all
over Canada and the Caribbean, as part of a unique leadership development and
educational initiative.
The royal flight on Sunday 27 September, 2015 and The
Princess Royal will be met by the Hon. Dr. Daniel Johnson, Minister of Youth,
Sports and Culture, the principal sponsor of the CCELD 2015 Bahamas Study Tour.
The CCELD is an intensive two-week in-field leadership
development experience whih takes place every four years. It broadens perspectives and improves
decision-making practices for the high-calibre, mid-career men and women
selected from business, government, labour and civil society, from across the
Caribbean and Canada who participate.
Addressing the leadership crisis gap, the in-field experience of the
CCELD creates opportunities for emerging leaders to gain new skill sets in the
moment.
The CCELD builds on the existing strong bonds between Caribbean countries and
Canada and its lineage traces back to the Duke of Edinburgh’s Commonwealth
Study Conference, whose unique model has proven successful for thousands of
emerging leaders, including more than 3,000 Canadians since 1956.
Last Saturday, three young ladies left Nassau on Air
Canada to join others from 21 countries for the start of the Dialogue in
Ottawa. They are Ruthann Rolle of the Ministry
of Tourism, Royann Dean of Baha Mar and Keithra Morley, Founder of the Boys
& Girls Club (Bahamas).
Additionally, The Bahamas will be receiving a group of
twelve individuals drawn from cities in Canada and across the Caribbean who
will participate in a Study Tour, visiting various communities, workplaces and
institutions under the theme: “Leading through
Innovation and Transformation.”
CCELD Alumni include: Gershan Major, Lindsay Thompson,
Terry Miller. Tara Cooper Burnside, Philip Simon and Stephen Thompson
