Other members of the new SALCC Board of Governors include Former Chief Education Officer Fortuna Anthony, as Deputy Chair; First Vice-President of the National Youth Council Ajani Lebourne; former Independent Senator and Permanent Secretary in Ministry of Infrastructure, Ports and Transport Dr. Allison Gajadhar; former Communications & Works Minister Felix Finisterre and retired Dean of The Division of Teacher Education and Education Administration of the SALCC Anthony Felicien.
Speaking on the commissioning of the new board Minister with responsibility for Education Hon.

With this new board, working with the senior leadership of the college, we are expecting very exciting things to come out of the college in the remainder of this academic year and the ensuing academic year.”
