Archbishop Gray-Burke new IRO head

On June 29, Burke became the first woman to sit in that position, which she was elected to unopposed. “The nominated me, there was a seconder and no one else was nominated.

“Like they were glad to have me as their president.

They told me they realised I did a lot for the organisation and for the Shouter Baptist so I would make a good leader.” “I feel happy that the glass ceiling has been broken in this male-dominated field.

And remember I am a strong supporter of the UNC (United National Congress) and Kamla (Persad-Bissessar), and she was our first female Prime Minister!” She said been a member of the IRO since 1997 and had done a lot of work under the various presidents. Burke said her first goal was to acquire land and build a structure for a permanent IRO office in which the members could hold their monthly meetings.

She also plans to speak to other members of the executive and discuss policy soon.
