MAJ Secretariat Changes News Item
After more than ten years of dedicated service, the MAJ’s administrative assistant, Miss Jacqui Brown, said goodbye in order to launch out on her own. She will be hard to replace and we wish her well in her endeavours.
Miss Carrol-Lee Bonnick left our staff after 7 months and was replaced by Miss Denise Chang, who resigned in August of this year.
Miss Kadesha White joined our staff in March of this year and, I’m happy to say, is still with us. She commenced as an accounting clerk but has deservedly risen to the rank of Administrative Assistant.
Miss Linette Bailey joined our secretariat this month and is presently on 3 months probation as Executive Secretary.
Mr. Michael Gordon remains with us as our capable and affable caretaker and bearer.
The refurbishing work of MAJ premises by Mrs. Victoria Lyn continues unabated and with unequalled enthusiasm. We are forever in your debt Mrs. Lyn.
