The Executive

Sis. Redman, a geography and social studies teacher at the Lodge School, is currently serving her seventh year as BSTU president and is eager to maintain the organisation's proud tradition of service and representation. Mary also holds the post of 3^rd vice president of the Congress of Trade Union and Staff Association of Barbados (CTUSAB).

Bro. Padmore, a foreign languages teacher at the Lodge School, has authored several text books covering various aspects of the CXC Spanish syllabus. Erskine, who's also president of the Modern Language Association of Barbados, is currently pursuing a PhD programme at the University of the West Indies and this is his first year as First Vice President, having served previously as General Secretary.

In this his 2^nd year on the executive, Bro. Bartlett moves up "one notch" to the position of 2^nd vice president. Bro. Bartlett, who holds a PhD and MBA from the University of Leicester, has taught physics and electronics at the Foundation School for the past 23 years. Albert is also Chief Examiner for the CXC school-based assessment for physics.

Christopher Olliver, a proletarian and philosopher at heart, is new to the Union's Executive and looks forward to doing his part as the Union meets the challenges of the second decade of the 21st century.

Sis. Robinson - an MSc graduate of the University of Pennsylvania - teaches English at the Foundation School, which is also her alma mater (making her a 'through-and-through' Foundation girl). This will be Mona's first year as General Secretary and she is eager to get to grips with the task at hand!

Bro. Archer, an industrial arts teacher at the Lodge School, is serving his third year on the executive and is certainly no stranger to working within disciplined organisations, having been a Lieutenant in the Barbados Cadet Corps. Frank is keen to continue his work on issues involving the professional development of the teaching service.

Sis. Burnett, a native of Trinidad, is serving her third year as Union treasurer. It seems that Mary enjoys 'crunching the numbers' since she also sits on the BSTU credit union's supervisory board and is the head of the Business Studies department at the Coleridge & Parry School. Sis. Burnett would like to see more young people assuming positions of responsibility within both the credit and trade unions.

Sis. Greaves, having joined the BSTU only two years ago, continues to make her contribution at the highest level. Amaida, who is Head of the Science Department at The Alexandra School, is keen to acquaint herself with all aspects of the Union's various activities.
