A Governor in the Chair Mr. Williams, who has been serving as Central Bank Governor since 2002, chaired his first meeting of the St. Augustine Campus Council on March 17th, 2009. As an outstanding UWI graduate and postgraduate alumnus, he has also served as the Chairman of UWI, St. Augustine’s Audit Committee. Welcoming him, Campus Principal, PVC Professor Clement Sankat paid tribute to his past service to The UWI and the region. Prior to his appointment as Governor of the Central Bank, Williams worked for thirty years at the International Monetary Fund (IMF), completing his career there as Deputy Director of the Western Hemisphere Department. He follows the immediate past Chair, Mr Michael Mansoor, who first presided over a Campus Council meeting in March 1997. Mansoor chaired thirteen meetings of the Campus Council, and presided over the period of implementation of the University’s first two strategic plans. He oversaw the implementation of a new system of governance of the Campus Councils. Pr incipal Sankat described Mansoor’s contribution as “invaluable,” adding that, “our St. Augustine Campus Council is very grateful for your time, steadfast support, service and signal contribution to the University over the past eleven years. This Campus in particular has been a beneficiary of the changes that have taken place over the period in which you had been Chairman of Campus Council.” While Mansoor ushered in The University’s third strategic plan, it is Williams who will oversee its continued implementation over the next four years. |
