(PLTM) - Governor John Rankin has congratulated Lynette Harrigan who has been recognised by HM The King in the New Year’s Honours List.
Lynette has received an MBE for her contributions to International Travel during the COVID pandemic and to the community in the British Virgin Islands.
“Lynette is a great representative for the BVI. Over the last two decades, she has repeatedly gone above and beyond in her work for the BVI tourist board. She strove tirelessly throughout the pandemic to support travel, which was appreciated by both the industry and tourists," Governor Rankin said. He added, "This award rightfully recognises her outstanding achievements for tourism in the BVI, particularly through COVID, as well as her contribution to the wider community.”
