The Office of the President has announced that Her Excellency Sylvanie Burton, DAH., President of the Commonwealth of Dominica, will be the recipient of the Global Inspirational Leadership Award and will be inducted into the Global Power Women Network.

Scheduled for Thursday, September 25, 2025, in New York City during the upcoming Global Power Women’s Conference, this honor acknowledges President Burton’s “outstanding leadership, unwavering commitment to advancing gender equality and visionary role in shaping policies which empower communities and inspire global progress”, according to an official government press release.

It said that the award will highlight her innovative approach to developing policies that empower communities and support international progress. The statement also expressed that her efforts to redefine leadership and promote inclusive prosperity resonate with the conference’s theme: “The Power Shift: Women Reimagining Leadership, Legacy and Global Prosperity.”

‘In receiving this Award, President Burton joins a distinguished circle of leaders who exemplify courage, resilience and transformative influence on the world stage. Her recognition is a testament to her personal achievements and the broader movement towards more inclusive and visionary leadership worldwide,” said the government statement.

The award presentation and her induction into the network will take place immediately following her keynote speech at the conference, in the presence of global leaders, innovators, and trailblazers

The annual Global Power Women’s Conference is an international event based in New York that aims to elevate women’s voices in leadership roles, encourage cross-sector collaboration, and develop strategies for sustainable global growth.

The website states that the initiative was “founded by the Centre for Economic and Leadership Development (CELD) UK, and Amazons Watch Magazine (AWM) as one of the outcomes of the Global Power Women Conference 2023 held at the New York Hilton Midtown on September 21, 2023.”

    Outstanding leadership, visionary role…. inspire global progress.. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: 8-O 8-O .
    So Dominicans are really taken for fools man??! Could the office cite ONE example ??? Give the dear lady an award if need be but not making all these claims knowing fully well they’re UNTRUE.
    Both she and PM Skerrit are political pygmies, interchangeable in their incompetence, cowadice and lack of vision.

    Hot debate. What do you think? Thumb up 9 Thumb down 12

    An award for being a puppet. That’s the same way Obama got so many awards because he was a puppet
    Biden got a few because he was a puppet.
    Trump is no puppet so he will not get any no matter if he cures cancer

      @Stop trying to plagiarize.Your dam fake.
      Trump is a two faced gangster and a criminal. The racist campaigned on a platform of peace, but in less than a year he has waged war in Yemen, taken part in genocide in Gaza, waged war with Iran, he wants Greenland, Panama Canal, Canada, he wants by force Venezuelas Oil and is continuing to channel lethal arms to Ukraine.
      You are a braindead idiot hallucinating profusely, and you are not aware of it.
      Trump is America’s worst president. The criminals hands are overflowing with blood.
      You talk about award? What he deserves is jail.

      @the fake
      You must have been a dunce at school, sitting at the back of the chalk board. I know you wanted to write MEME, because what i write here on CERTAIN TOPICS are anathema to you, example how i view Donald Trump and Benjamin Satanyahu.
      Those who are here on DNO for sometime know my stand on many topics, so even when you’ll use MEME in the future, they will know that its a brain limited imposter doing this.

      Trump.detest black people especially educated black women. The only thing he rightfully deserves is the world’s collective ire and scorn. Any person.of African descent with melanin who supports Donald Trump is a masochist.

      This lady that you are so enthralled about is spineless. She just parrots whatever is said or given to her. She engages in puppetry – Roosevelt is the puppeteer and she is the puppet completely manipulated by the neurotic Liar.

      Conversely, Mrs. Anette Sanford is independent, highly principled, well spoken, industrious, erudite. She would make an excellent President or a supremely exceptional leader of Dominica. This Lady is just naturally endowed with all the positive attributes of a scholarly leader.
