Management also aids in the development and growth of its employees.” – Lissa Cuffy, Housekeeping Manager, Frenchman’s Reef & Morning Star Marriott Beach Resort/ Caribbean Hotel Supervisor of the Year (St. Croix Source)

“When the OECS (Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States) wins, we all win!

“Within our employee group we have submitted the challenge of making CAL (Caribbean Airlines) break-even within a three-year period and we are very well on our way to doing that. I would say we would be about 35 to 40 percent on our way there. There is still much work to do and we will, in the next months as all of the initiatives come into play, add considerably to that progress.” – Michael DiLollo, CEO, Caribbean Airlines (Trinidad and Tobago Newsday)
“We have greatness in the Virgin Islands (and) in the Caribbean. I wouldn’t want to be from no other part of the world. Because I feel like part of the reason why (we) do what we do or why people think we (are) great or awesome or special or whatever they think of us in a good way, it’s because of where we’re from.” – Timothy Thomas, Musician, R. City
