I truly am thankful for the opportunity\u00a0and would love to see the continuation of this wonderful initiative.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Ms. Coleen Letlow, head of the UWI &#8212; Open Campus, said the initiative was an overall rewarding experience.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI see mentorship as a two-way street.\u00a0 It is where an opportunity for development and growth is created between someone with experience and someone who wants to learn. I certainly enjoyed the role I played in helping an emerging female leader achieve her goals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The EFL Mentorship Day participants will continue to participate in the Emerging Female Leaders\u2019 Programme.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Directorate extends a special thank you to Ms. E. Ann Henry QC, Mrs. Vashti Ramsey- Casimir, Ms. Colleen Simpson, Ms. Zhara Airall, Ms. Coleen Letlow, Ms. Mako Williams, Ms. Cleon Athill and Ms. Karen Cabrall for hosting the ten (10) young female leaders.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For more information about the Emerging Female Leaders\u2019 Programme, please contact the Directorate of Gender Affairs at 462-3990.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-135220\" src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1024\/h:610\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/EFL-Shadowing-Picture-1024x610.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"415\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1024\/h:610\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/EFL-Shadowing-Picture.png 1024w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:179\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/EFL-Shadowing-Picture.png 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:458\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/EFL-Shadowing-Picture.png 768w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:696\/h:415\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/EFL-Shadowing-Picture.png 696w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1068\/h:636\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/EFL-Shadowing-Picture.png 1068w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:705\/h:420\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/EFL-Shadowing-Picture.png 705w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1079\/h:643\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/EFL-Shadowing-Picture.png 1079w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/p>\n<div id=\"antig-2769772923\" class=\"antig-in-comments_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/@hadeedmotorsltd\" aria-label=\"Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 1000w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:75\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:192\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1000\" height=\"250\"   \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ten (10) young female professionals will receive career guidance and mentorship in a variety of fields as part of the Emerging Female Leaders (EFL) Mentorship Program.
