BPW Dominica hosted a significant and moving ceremony last night, November 19th, at the Public Service Union (PSU) building, commencing at 7:00 pm. The event was held in profound recognition of International Men’s Day, dedicated to celebrating the invaluable contributions of men across the Commonwealth of Dominica. The organization chose this special occasion to hold an “Homage to Men,” specifically recognizing and honoring nineteen distinguished men from the community for their exemplary roles and dedicated service. The focus of the evening was to highlight the multi-faceted and essential positions men hold within society. Men are rightly acknowledged as the heads of their homes, providing guidance, stability, and strength for their families. Furthermore, the ceremony celebrated their indispensable leadership roles across the entire spectrum of national life. Their contributions are seen in the flourishing of businesses, the advancement of education, the governance of community organizations, and countless other areas that contribute to the island’s development and social cohesion.
This inaugural “Homage to Men” signals a strong commitment from BPW Dominica to making this recognition an annual tradition. The organization firmly believes that acknowledging and appreciating the positive impact of men is crucial for fostering a balanced and respectful community. By continuing this yearly tribute, BPW Dominica aims to systematically commend the often-unsung heroes who drive progress and serve as positive role models for the younger generation. The success of the ceremony underscores the importance of formally recognizing the men who contribute so much to the prosperity and well-being of Dominica. BPW Dominica is dedicated to ensuring that International Men’s Day serves as a perpetual platform to honor the leaders, mentors, and foundational figures who strengthen homes, communities, and the nation as a whole. This tradition will ensure their contributions are celebrated for years to come.
