We are here SEAsters
Showing up and showing out for the WiMAC 8th Annual General Meeting and Elections (virtual) are over 95 SEAsters participating from our 8 chapters, our Student Chapter (Caribbean Maritime University) and representatives from all the countries from across the Caribbean and further afield. It was so SEAmazing to hear all of your voices during introductions; all of the different accents that flavor our Caribbean region.
We started with a warm welcome from WiMAC President Dr Evette Smith-Johnson and the introduction of the current Governing Council.
We are grateful to have remarks from Ms. Mariana Noceti, Principal Programme Assistant, Latin America and Caribbean Section, Technical Cooperation Implementation Division, International Maritime Organization and Mrs. Vivian Rambarath-Parasram Regional Coordinator, Caribbean.
Special thanks to Mrs. Tesha Walker Brown for her motivating discussion regarding mental health in the work place " we cannot pour from an empty vessel" , " we lead better seasters when we are mentally well", and "It's ok to say I am not okay seasters" . Seasters shared hearts and claps as well as comments on how timely and necessary this message is.
WiMAC LeadHERship! ten years strong, looking beyond the horizon of opportunities 🛟⛵⚓🛟⚓⛵
