2 Featured Speaker: AGM Committee Chairperson introduced the featured speaker for the day. The featured speaker is Rev. Denise Lewis of the Moravian Church. She is the wife to Rev. Algernon Lewis of the Moravian Church in Basseterre. She will deliver a message on the topic S.K.N.Y.P.A. s contribution to Equality and Justice in Nation Building. Rev. Lewis began by expressing her honour and privilege to share with the members this afternoon. Presentation notations include the following: Equality a state of being equal Having opportunities or equal access without discrimination irrespective of race, colour, creed or class The most valued resource of any nation in her opinion is the youth Everyone is entitled to inalienable rights such as justice and equality As young people, we are the nation s future but we must have an understanding of our role Daniel chapter 1, makes mention of Daniel and his friends who were captured by the Babylon system in an effort to trying to indoctrinate them into the Babylon lifestyle such as eating, dressing and changing their names. Daniel would not defile himself with the King s meat. His decision altered his destiny for all time As youths, sometimes we are marginalized and pushed aside but we must make the decision to be heard as this is our nation as well We (the youths) have a lot of skills to offer and we have as much rights as others to make that contribution make that decision Many issues exist that require the contribution of the youths: o Electoral Reform: what is our position, what is our voice, we need to become involved so that others can hear from us. Analyze the facts and make an informed decision. Rise up and say this is my nation and as such has the right to comment on these issues The destiny of our nation is in our hands so we have to make a decision for ourselves to play a pivotal role you would have to play in nation building Become active in sharing issues The issues of equality and justice are numerous The laws of our land are challenging Be willing to engage and learn The destiny of this nation is in our hands Recognise how valuable we all are to nation building Become active in the sharing of our vision and issues in order to get others to participate Challenges: 1. Make a decision for the destiny of our nation that will affirm what our values ant significant worth in the process of nation building To say that you have a part to play Speak up but remain un-bias and must appear concerned not partisan but concerned - 2 -

3 Get involved in the decision making process 2. Become active in pursuing opportunities to share the vision of the Association a. Engage the youths b. Pay attention to the least youth c. Find the cause and solutions for the issues that are affecting the society eg. Crime, drugs d. Analyze the problems so that we can find solutions e. Become active in peer counselling for the development of the nation 3. Record your progress: a. This will help others to understand and recognise where they are b. Pay attention to youths progress and regression and make a database c. Organize a newsletter to bring forward the issues d. Seek sponsorship and scholarship from like minded persons or groups e. 4. Engage all in an effort to be creative a. Sensitize the public on what is happening b. Engage everyone in the process, do not be selective The floor was then opened up for questions: 1. Azilla Clarke The group has very strong personalities and a strong mandate but sometimes the message goes over wrong. As such, how do we balance getting the message across and the fickleness of humans? a. The truth hurts but it has to guide us b. Sometimes there is no easy way to share the truth but to open the dialogue and encourage others to share their truth c. Let it be known that you only desire the good of all (that is the virtue) d. Do not be partisan e. Open the dialogue so that others can feel included. 2. Jacqueline Bryant - A majority of the members are female, is there anything in particular that we need to do in order to specifically to cater to males to encourage them to join and sustain? a. Do not leave them out b. Encourage them to participate c. Raise issues that are of particular interest to them as well as general ones that includes both genders d. Find ways to work in partnership 3. Jacqueline Bryant How important is it for a group such as ours to reach out to young people and collaborate? a. Very crucial b. There is a lot of duplication of efforts that could be simply avoided if there were greater collaboration - 3 -

4 c. Together we use less resources and have a greater impact than if one were to work individually 4. Jacqueline Bryant what is the role of an organization such as ours in getting the message out for youths to register to vote and be aware of the issues a. This group should already be doing that b. It should be noted that if young people do not vote then you cannot play a role in decision making c. By voting, we let our leaders know that they are accountable for their actions to us d. You may be branded for these efforts but keep moving forward in a sustained way e. Help persons to recognize that this is necessary 5. Jihan Williams Much have always been said about letting truth be our guide but how do we balance the reality of truth with the preferred practice of what is convenient? a. Everyone plays lip service to the sentiment that we want you to be involved but they want to dictate your involvement, that is it must fall in line with what has always been done b. Many adults are threatened by the prospect of change and newness that young persons bring so our first task is to affirm the good points of the past while introducing our points c. There is a difference between confrontation and care-frontation (new word) In conclusion, we should be willing to march to hell for a heavenly cause The President of the Association expressed word of thanks to Rev Lewis for her stirring words and encouraged the membership to bear in mind that we have to engage all in our efforts to get our message across in our goal to have equality and justice in nation building. The meeting then moved into a twenty (20) minute break where light refreshments were served. CLOSED SESSION The chairperson of the AGM Committee assumed the role of Chairperson for the closed session of the meeting. The motion for resumption of the meeting was moved by Cindy DeSuza and seconded by Azard Gumbs. The meeting resumed at 5:05 pm Annual Report by Out-Going President: Mr. DeHaan Henry, out-going president of the Association submitted to the Secretariat a copy of his official report that was presented for the period September 30 th 2006 through to February 23 rd The report included the following: The two identified projects for implementation were an adopt a space environmental project and an educational mentoring project. None of these projects materialized The Association experienced a period of dormancy that lasted for approximately one year As a result of the period of dormancy, no Annual General Meeting was held for 2007 thus making this Executive the longest serving in the history of the Association During the time of dormancy, no meetings were held and no dues were collected - 4 -

5 In October of 2007, after a few months of s from Ms. Azilla Clarke, effort to get SKNYPA active once again commenced. A series of meetings were scheduled leading up to the AGM today that will look at the ills that we the members saw were hindering the reactivation of the association. An Executive Order was passed in January 2008 in order to remove some of the hindrances that were facing the Association. Such challenges included the following o Membership: relocation of members overseas depleted man power. A membership confirmation process was initiated so as to assess the true state of our membership so that we could continue to move forward and rebuild the Association o Finances: no major fundraisers were undertaken by the organization during the period. The main and sole source or revenue came from the collection of dues. More details would be given by Madam Treasurer Even through the dormancy, the Association s relationship with stakeholders did not suffer. For example the Departments of Youth and Gender Affairs. In closing, the out-going President admonished the Association to learn and grow from mistakes made in the past. He thanked the members of his Executive for their patience and expressed thanks to the membership for the opportunity to serve. To those who will be elected he bid them good luck. Annual Report from Out-Going Treasurer: Ms. Cindy DeSuza, out-going Treasurer of the Association presented the Treasurer s report on the financial affairs of the Association up to 31 st August Income: Subscription at $220 $220 Expenditure: Post Office Box $110 Fees for Box $20 Re-Design of logo $300 Printing of shirts $425 Flag Pins $150 Printing Cost $ Folders and Dividers $ Folder design and printing $ Refreshments $375 Table Cloths $17.85 $2, Balance for the year (2,144.45) Balance on the Account for the year $9, Confirmation Ceremony: According to the Secretariat, the list of members to be confirmed included the following: DeHaan Henry Jacqueline Bryant - 5 -

A picture was the taken for prosperity. Election of the Executive: The meeting was then turned over to the Chairperson of the Electoral Council, Mr. Jose Lloyd. He began with a few words of admonishment for the Association prior to the commencement of the formal vote. He stated the following: Wished us well in our programs and planning in the ensuing year He reminded us of the quote I hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equally He This day is the association s election day and that he trusts that the results will be pleasing to all Accept differences and still work together as a unit Employ new strategies as you endeavour to achieve gender balance President: Members are asked to use the same color ink, mainly black.
