Scotiabank has announced that Esther Scotland will be appointed to a senior management position within the bank in the northern Caribbean.

Ms. Scotland, the first Dominican to hold the position of Country Head in the region, first joined Scotiabank in 1997. She worked her way through the bank, including Senior Manager, Sales & Service Support, International Banking, Toronto and Branch Manager, Nevis. She then returned to Dominica in June 2008 to assume the role of Country Head.

In thanking Ms. Scotland for her commitment and service to Dominica and the Caribbean East cluster, Sean Albert, Scotiabank’s Managing Director for Caribbean East extended best wishes to Ms. Scotland as she moves into her new role.

Mr. Albert affirmed that Scotiabank prides itself on providing opportunities for the further development of its leaders and puts particular focus on the advancement of women as leaders within the organisation.

During her tenure as Country Head in Dominica, Ms. Scotland spearheaded the expansion of the bank’s country operations with the opening of the Portsmouth Sales Centre in the north of the island in 2010. Ms. Scotland expressed gratitude for the myriad of management experiences she benefited from during her time at the helm in Dominica and stated, “I’m looking forward to the new challenge which I see as an opportunity to grow the Bank’s business and also to further develop my career.” Ms. Scotland plans to get straight down to business in her new role.

Dear Editor: As part of the festivities taking place in Dominica this month...
Looking to catch images of Dominica and its beauty? Then keep watching the Thumbs to your right! Dominica lies almost in the centre of the arc of islands known as the Lesser Antilles. This arc extends from the Trinidad-Grenada Passage in the south up to the Anegada Passage between the Virgin islands and Anguilla. These islands of the Lesser Antilles are of volcanic origin.

Following the French attack under La Grange and the suppressions of the Maroons in 1814, Dominica was entering a long period of peace . In 1815 Napoleon was finally overthrown and the threat of French attack on Dominica was over for good. For almost a hundred years the inhabitants had lived in constant fear of invasion and yet, now they were faced with problems no less important than war. The most insistence was slavery.
