Minister of Human Services and Social Security, Dr Vindhya Persaud and senior members of the ministry’s staff on Friday bade farewell to Ann Greene, the longtime Director of Childcare and Protection Agency (CPA) as she heads into retirement. In a statement on her Facebook page, Minister Persaud said: “Although, Ann wanted to retire before, when she hit 70 years, I had asked her to stay on, and she did, one and a half years. I truly appreciated her doing that, as I did her dedication, commitment and the years of experience she brought to her work. Ann has said now it is time for her to relax a bit with her family and allow other members of staff to step up to the challenge. “I can say that I will personally miss her at CPA, but she has assured me that she will be fully supportive and always there to provide any assistance we may need. She will be there in a mentorship and advisory capacity. Thank you for your decades of service to CPA and MHSSS, and the children of Guyana, Ann. It has been greatly appreciated.” In photo, Greene (right) receives a bouquet from Minister Persaud. (Ministry of Human Services and Social Security photo)
