A rising bodybuilding talent from Antigua and Barbuda is gearing up to compete on one of the Caribbean’s most prestigious regional physique stages, and she is not going it alone. The Eastern Caribbean Amalgamated Bank (ECAB) has thrown its full support behind one of its own employees, Kayla Joseph, as she prepares to represent her home country at the upcoming Roger Boyce Classic in Barbados.
In an official ceremony held this Monday, ECAB Chief Executive Officer Michael Spencer formally presented a token of sponsorship and encouragement to Joseph, recognizing her dedication both to her role at the financial institution and her athletic ambitions. Scheduled to take place in mid-May, the Roger Boyce Classic is a professional-level bodybuilding competition that draws top talent from across the Caribbean region, and Joseph will compete as part of the official Antiguan contingent attending the event.
In his remarks during the presentation, Spencer offered warm words of encouragement to the athlete, emphasizing ECAB’s pride in supporting team members who pursue excellence outside the workplace. “We wish you well in your endeavours and hope that you are successful,” Spencer stated, echoing the entire organization’s enthusiasm for Joseph’s upcoming competition.
For her part, Joseph expressed sincere gratitude for the workplace backing that has helped her balance the rigorous training schedule required for competitive bodybuilding with her professional responsibilities. She noted that having the explicit support of her employer has made a meaningful difference in her preparations, giving her greater confidence as she heads into the contest. As Joseph makes her final preparations for travel and competition, ECAB has extended its collective best wishes, affirming its confidence that she will represent Antigua and Barbuda with distinction on the regional stage.
