Government is still accepting submissions from those interested in serving on its 2017 boards and committees.

“We were very encouraged by the submissions we received earlier this year when we first announced the opening up of our boards and committees,” Michael Dunkley said.

The Premier added: “We are hoping to see more women in our community embrace this opportunity to serve. There is such an incredible talent pool in Bermuda and it’s hoped that interested individuals will take advantage of this opportunity.”

Opening up the boards and committees for residents to serve was one of the Government’s Throne Speech pledges last year. Expression of Interest forms can be accessed on the Cabinet Office’s website and can be completed and submitted electronically by the November 30 deadline.
