Nathalie Walsh addressing press members at WCMF briefing<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Effective November 10, 2023, Mrs. Nathalie Walsh will relinquish her position as Festivals and Events Manager at DDA to take up another position in the private sector on island.<\/p>\n

Mrs. Walsh steered the department and the Authority through a successful staging of Jazz\u2019n Creole in April and most recently, the 23rd edition of the World Creole Music Festival in October 2023.<\/p>\n

Mrs. Walsh expressed, \u201cI thoroughly enjoyed my time at the Discover Dominica Authority, spearheading the team responsible for organizing festivals and events. However, an incredible opportunity arose in a field I\u2019m passionate about, and I couldn\u2019t let it pass me by. I\u2019ve made it clear that I\u2019m more than willing to lend my support to the DDA in any capacity I can. I wish the authority continued success and eagerly anticipate the opportunity to collaborate with them again in the near future.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Ministry of Tourism, The Discover Dominica Authority, and the Dominica Festivals Committee wish Mrs. Walsh well in her future endeavours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Effective November 10, 2023, Mrs. Nathalie Walsh will relinquish her position as Festivals and Events Manager at DDA to take up another position in the private sector on island.
