St. Mary - JAAP

Ms. Ethlin Douglas, a former member of the Portland Chapter and the Chief Executive Officer, of the St. Mary Municipal Corporation made a recommendation to the National Executive of the necessity to establish a chapter of the Association in the parish of St. Mary. Upon that recommendation, the National Executive along with the St. Ann Chapter executed all plans to establish the St. Mary Chapter

The St. Ann Chapter gave birth to a group of office professionals in the parish of St. Mary. The first meeting of the Grop was held in January 2018. Oversight and guidance were provided by the National Executive in preparation for the Chapter Status.

At the Annual General Meeting of the Association held on October 05, 2018, a resolution was passed whereby the St. Mary Group was given Chapter Status. On Tuesday, December 11, 2018, the St. Mary Chapter was installed at a ceremony held in the Main Conference Room of the Port Maria Civic Center. St. Mary. Nine ladies led by Mrs. Sasha-Gay Sharris-Small and one gentleman were inducted into membership thereby increasing the number of Chapters to six.

Two members of the Group attended the 2018 All Island Bos and Administrative Professional of the Year Competitions in Montego Bay.
Member(s) of the St. Mary Group attended the 2018 Annual General Meeting where the Group officially became a Chapter; and Mrs. Sasha-Gay Harris-Small, President, was presented to the members.
Conducted the following activities during Administrative Professionals Week 2019:

a) Their APW Church Service was held at the Oracabessa New Testament Church of God.

b) APD Luncheon was held at Caline Breeze Hotel

c)Hosted a presentation conducted by the National Housing Trust of their products and services.

The then President was allowed to read to the age 4 class at the Emmanual Baptist Basic School
On May 23, 2019, the Chapter collaborated with the St. Mary Municipal Corporation in cleaning and painting the Edge Hill School of Hope, located at Trinity Port Maria. Mary.
Partnered with the St. Ann Chapter to host a benefit performance of the Romi & Julie held at Turtle River Park, Ocho Rios.
Joined with the St. Ann Chapter at their Annual Retreat on July 6, 2019.

The St. Mary Chapter though faced with challenges indicated that with great determination would keep on fighting the good fight and pledged to continue to support the Association. However, as that determination has weakened, the National Executive took on the mandate to rebuild the Chapter and has executed several activities to that effect but has not gotten much support from the original member of the St. Mary Chapter.

However, the National Executive is determined under God to continue to use various strategies to rebuild the Chapter and increase its membership. With that in mind, we appeal to all persons who are willing to offer their help and support to achieve this objective.
