New President and Vice Welcomed
The Solomon Islands Women in Business Association (SIWIBA) last year bid farewell to its former President, Rose Isukana.
She was replaced by her former Vice President, Dalcy Tekulu. The former President left SIWIBA to take up a position as Country Representative with the AusAID’s Pacific Leadership Program (PLP).
Her resignation was tendered to the SIWIBA Board to avoid any conflict of interest as PLP is also one of SIWIBA’s main funding donors.
The Board, staff and members of SIWIBA all expressed their gratitude to Mrs. Isukana for her service to the women’s organisation and thanked her for leading SIWIBA during her one year tenure as President.
She was described as a key player in SIWIBA’s push for recognition and opportunities from both government and relevant business stakeholders.
Meanwhile, Dalcy Tekulu was succeeded as Vice President by another influential former SIWIBA President, Mrs. Julie Haro who led the association from 2011 to 2012.
