Official
Press
Release
Pan Trinbago
seeks to
correct bits
of
misinformation
being
perpetuated
by the
public and
certain
sectors,
most of them
uninformed
and unfair.
The facts
are as
follows:
Pan Trinbago
has in its
possession a
document
entitled
“Strategic
Plan for
Sustainable
Development
of Pan” which
details the
plans and
activities
of Pan Trinbago
whilst
treating
with Pan
Trinbago’s
operations
and
functions.
“The Plan”
was
developed
after
consultation
with
stakeholders
in the
steelband
movement – a
wide cross-section of
interests
attended
seminars and
brainstorming
sessions at
The Normandie,
the NGC
Training
Room and at
meetings of
Pan
Trinbago’s
Steelband
Foundation
headed by
Kirk Ifill.
The document
can be

Again in
September
2004, Pan
Trinbago
Inc., in
keeping with
its
Constitution,
presented
instruments
of
appointments
to members
of various
Standing
Committees
at the
Hilton
Trinidad &
Conference
Centre, Lady
Young Road, Morvant,
Trinidad. Present were
the then-Acting Prime
Minister and
Minister of
Community
Development,
Culture and
Gender
Affairs,
Senator Joan Yuille-Williams,
and Chairman
of the
National
Carnival
Commission
Mr. Kenneth
De Silva.
Like many
fledging
industries,
Pan Trinbago
requires
strategic
planning and
a shared
vision to
achieve the
status it
desires, as
well as
transform
its image to
one of
efficiency,
transparency
and
marketability.
In his
welcome and
address,
Patrick
Arnold,
President,
conceded
that the
time had
come for the
Organization
to take
recourse to
professional
assistance.
With the
above goals
in mind, Pan
Trinbago
embarked on
an
institutional
strengthening
exercise
where
individuals
with
different
skills –
legal,
financial,
managerial,
marketing,
research and
event
management
were invited
with some
success, to
assist the
Organization
in its
effort to
“fall in
line with
acceptable
standards”.
Seven (7)
Committees
were
appointed
for a period
of three
years, each
comprising
members of
the business
and
community
sectors.
Arising out
of the
document,
Pan Trinbago
Investment
Corporation,
Trinidad &
Tobago Pan
Works and
Pan Trinbago
Co-operative
Society have
been
established
to look
after the
investment
and
commercial
activities
of the
Organization.
