Turner Urged to Lead with Empathy and Innovation in New Role
Rawdon Turner has been sworn in as Antigua and Barbuda’s Minister of Social and Urban Transformation during a ceremony at Government House, where the Governor General called for leadership rooted in empathy, collaboration, and innovation.
Speaking at the event, Sir Rodney Williams highlighted the significant responsibilities of Turner’s new role, describing it as pivotal for addressing the needs of the nation’s most vulnerable populations and promoting sustainable urban development.
“Your success will depend on your ability to lead with empathy, to be responsive to the needs of all citizens, and to craft policies that bring lasting and positive change,” Sir Rodney said.
Turner, who recently secured victory in the St. Peter by-election, takes on a ministry tasked with fostering inclusive communities and ensuring opportunities for all citizens to thrive. The Governor General underlined the importance of collaboration with colleagues, civil society organisations, and the private sector to achieve these goals.
The new minister’s professional background as an architect and his previous experience as a senator and CEO of the National Housing and Urban Renewal Company were praised as valuable assets for the position.
Sir Rodney also acknowledged the challenges ahead, urging Turner to approach his responsibilities with “humility, compassion, and a steadfast commitment to the greater good.”
The ceremony followed Turner’s resounding electoral victory in St. Peter, a seat left vacant after the death of former MP Asot Michael. Turner’s appointment signals the government’s commitment to addressing critical social and urban issues in the country.
The Governor General concluded by expressing hope that Turner’s tenure would be marked by progress, innovation, and a renewed sense of purpose for Antigua and Barbuda.
