In a last-minute adjustment to the Progressive Labour Party’s (PLP) 62nd Anniversary Black Tie Gala, E.P. Chet Greene, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Trade, and Barbuda Affairs for Antigua & Barbuda, has been announced as the new keynote speaker. Originally, Terrance Drew, the Prime Minister of St Kitts & Nevis and incoming chair of Caricom, was scheduled to address the event. However, due to the aftermath of Hurricane Melissa and his commitment to represent the Caribbean region at the EU-CELAC meeting in Colombia, Drew was unable to attend. The PLP expressed understanding and gratitude for Drew’s regional responsibilities while welcoming Greene’s participation. Dawn Simmons, PLP chairwoman, emphasized Greene’s esteemed regional leadership and the value his insights will bring to the gala’s theme, ‘Leading for the Next Generation.’ The event, set to take place at the Hamilton Princess & Beach Club, will also feature messages from Geoffrey Hanley, Deputy Prime Minister of St Kitts & Nevis, and David Burt, Bermuda’s Premier, who noted the personal significance of this being his final gala in office. Tickets for the event, priced at $150 for general admission and $250 for patron admission, are available at gpass.bm.
