On behalf of the Global Water Partnership-Caribbean (GWP-C), I wish to express our profound appreciation to Ms. Simone Lewis for her service as the Regional Coordinator over the last six years. Her dedicated stewardship has left an indelible mark on our organization, and your contributions over the years have been invaluable.
Throughout your tenure, she has led GWP-C through significant milestones, including hosting the Caribbean Science Symposium on Water, establishing the GWP-C Water Academy for Youths, and developing the Action Framework for IWRM for the CARICOM Region. Her vision and commitment have also brought to life innovative initiatives such as the GWP-C Shark Tank Competition and our first published book, Saving Water: The Journey of Two Caribbean Kids to Understanding Water Security.
As the longest-serving Regional Coordinator, Ms. Simone has played a crucial role in advancing Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM) across the Caribbean.
Ms Lewis is currently on leave and her resignation becomes effective on November 15th. As Ms. Lewis embarks on the next chapter of her professional journey, we wish her success and want to reassure her that our relationship will continue. We look forward to staying connected in our efforts to achieve a water-secure region, knowing that her expertise and passion will always be a part of our shared mission.
