“I know that St. Lucia’s young women are up to the job”, added Mayor Francis, adding: “You need to recognize your full potential as citizens and take the lead in obtaining roles in government and the private sector.”
According to the Mayor, “I serve alongside some dedicated female councilors and some of our team of managers living proof that women continue to make important, lasting and positive inroads in society.
“Look within our 238 square miles and you will find strong women making significant inroads at all levels.”
