PHILIPSBURG--Bienvenido Richardson has been reappointed to utilities company GEBE’s supervisory board of directors and has been selected as the new chairperson of the board.
Richardson was on the former board and had also served as chairperson. He is joined on the new five-member board by Louis Wever, Nina Diaz, Kenneth Serrant and Conrad Richardson. The new board will sit for a period of four years.
Richardson told The Daily Herald on Thursday that the new board had convened its first meeting on Wednesday.
The Council of Ministers “signed off” on the appointment of the new members of the utilities company’s supervisory board on Tuesday, October 2. Prime Minister Leona Romeo-Marlin told reporters last week that the Council of Ministers’ approval was the final part of the process to appoint the board. The process to appoint a new board included the vetting of the candidates by the Corporate Governance Council, which “took some time.”
The sitting term of the former board had expired some time back. In a letter dated May 30, Minister of Public Housing, Environment, Spatial Development and Infrastructure VROMI Miklos Giterson thanked the former board members for their service to the company. Members of the former board were Bienvenido Richardson, Agnes Monte, Sandy Offringa, Patrice Gumbs, Oral Gibbes, Tadzio Bervoets and the late Roy Marlin.
