At its Annual General Meeting held on Thursday May 13, 2004, the Mona Administrative and Technical Staff Association (MONATS), formerly MONASA, elected a new Executive body to serve for a period of one year. The announcement of the results for the position of President was prefaced by thunderous applause and shouts of jubilation from the members who anticipated the return of Mr. Patrick Thwaites for a third consecutive term. The re-elected Officers were Vice-President, Mrs. Miriam Lindo; Treasurer, Mr. Alexander Brown; Public Relations Officer, Mrs. Sandra Powell-Mangaroo; and Trustee, Mrs. Venita Hanson. New Officers elected by the members were Vice-President, Miss Nolda Thompson; Secretary, Ms. Cecelia Ferguson; and Assistant Secretary, Mrs. Annett Allison-Beckford. The Association, which is celebrating 30 years of existence this year, placed on record its profound thanks and well wishes to former officers - Mrs. Peta-Gaye Dunn-Coore, Mrs. Janet DeSouza and Mr. Lloyd McBean - who had contributed significantly to its work and achievements.
