Moving and shaking at Water Authority
Wilda Welcome-Connor
Monday, March 21, 2005
After some recent restructuring, the Water Authority has
promoted Wilda Welcome-Connor, earlier this month, to the post of Assistant
Secretary to the Board/Corporate Communications Officer.
The primary focus of the position is to provide
administrative support for the Water Authority Board and to coordinate PR and
marketing initiatives for the Authority.
Formerly most PR activities were handled by the Customer
Service Department; however, the Authority recognised the need of having a
designated employee to address the PR and marketing needs of an ever-growing
water utility.
Accepting the challenges with a smile, Mrs Welcome-Connor
said: “I am delighted with the decision to promote me to fill this niche area
for the Water Authority. I am very grateful to the Director for her confidence
in my abilities and I look forward to meeting the new challenges of my
substantive post.”
Chief, Dr Gelia Frederick-van Genderen, was equally as
excited about the decision to create the position.
“The Water Authority is a leader of its class in the
entire region. We provide a variety of career and training opportunities,” said
Dr Genderen. We take deep pride in supporting our local community, and we want
our customers and our fellow Caymanians to know about us. We have every
confidence that Wilda will provide an excellent service in effectively
communicating the Water Authority and its services to the public and in liaising
with the various media houses.”
The Director noted that Mrs Welcome-Connor was chosen
because of her natural abilities, her high level of professionalism, her
willingness to take on new opportunities and her creativity.
Mrs. Welcome-Connor has been employed with the Water
Authority since September 2002. Prior to her new appointment, she served as the
Executive Secretary and as the Secretary to the Plumbers’ Examination Board.
