Former Special Envoy Kim Simplis-Barrow is the new president of the Belize Cancer Society, succeeding Laura Tucker-Longsworth who served in that capacity for many years. The announcement was made earlier today, following an annual general meeting that saw the appointment of a new board of directors. Simplis-Barrow is joined by Vice President Sharon Young and Secretary Doctor Dionne Chamberlain. During the AGM, two resolutions were passed which permits the board of directors to establish a dedicated seat for the immediate past president to serve as an ex-officio member, providing valuable continuity and experience, as well as institutional knowledge. Secondly, dedicated seats will be established on the board of directors for the presidents of district branches.
