Mia Amor Mottley is joining Barbadians in celebrating Lisa Wade, whom she described as a daughter of the soil whose excellence has carried her to the highest levels of global leadership.

In a message posted on her social media page, Prime Minister Mottley said Wade’s nomination to become the next President-Elect of the International Actuarial Association is historic not only for Barbados, but for the entire Caribbean.

She noted that the nomination places one of the region’s own on the path to lead a global professional body representing actuaries across more than 115 countries.
