In celebration of the 44th Anniversary of the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS), distinguished representatives of the OECS Robotics Association (OECSRA) had the honour of attending the official Thanksgiving Service held in Saint Lucia.
The ceremony marked a significant milestone in the regionโs journey toward integration, resilience, and sustainable development under the anniversary theme:
โAdapting, Innovating, Sustaining: A Unified OECS for a Changing World.โ
Representing OECSRA at this memorable occasion were:
๐น H.E. Dr. Ricardo R. Neil โ Ambassador for Science and Technology, Chairman and Founder of the St. Kitts and Nevis Robotics Association (SKNRA) and OECSRA
๐น Mr. Brandon Powell โ President, OECSRA
๐น Ms. Zahrea Franklin โ Vice Chairwoman, OECSRA
๐น Ms. Mary Shelford โ Executive Administrative Secretary, OECSRA
The event highlighted not only the regionโs accomplishments over the past four decades, but also the critical role that science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) play in empowering our youth and building a smarter, more connected OECS.
We extend our sincere thanks to the OECS Commission for hosting this meaningful celebration and for their steadfast dedication to regional unity, innovation, and educational transformation.
As we move forward, OECSRA remains committed to supporting the vision of a digitally enabled and future-ready Caribbeanโthrough robotics education, technological empowerment, and youth leadership.
๐ Happy 44th Anniversary, OECS!
Together, we continue to shape a region defined by excellence, opportunity, and shared progress.
