In a recent cabinet decision of the Virgin Islands, it has been confirmed that cabinet has “considered and approved” the Recreation Trust’s recommendation that Mr. Eustace Freeman be appointed as the Executive Director of the Trust for a period of three (3) years in accordance to Section 6A (1) of the Recreation Trust (Amendment) Act, 2012.
The trust has been “restructuring and reorganizing” the organization, which also sees Mr. Stephen Payne being appointed Director of Operations.
Payne was appointed Executive Director of the Trust in 2013, a position he held until earlier this year.
Freeman who is presently the Sports Programs Officer in the Ministry of Education, Culture, Youth Affairs, Fisheries and Agriculture is expected to transition to his new role within the coming weeks.
The Recreation Trust is a statutory organization which falls under the Ministry of Education and Culture and assists the Ministry with the development and maintenance of recreational grounds and facilities throughout the Territory.
