Welcome to delegates by Chandé Eboni Rivers



Welcome to the Historical Gem of the Caribbean, St. Eustatius, and welcome to the 5th annual Statia Sustainable Conference. My name is Chandé Eboni Rivers, a 19 year old Hospitality Management student, who attends College in The Netherlands and is fortunate enough to be currently doing Internship at a hotel on St. Maarten and St. Eustatius. Since July 27th, 2016 I have been crowned Statia’s Senior Carnival Queen. My family and I are extremely proud of this accomplishment, but more so honored to be considered an Ambassador for the island of my birth. Coming from a bloodline of Entrepreneurs, I am blessed and driven to become a successful Entrepreneur one day, and in keeping with my area of study, hope to join the Tourism Industry on my Island in the near future and contribute the knowledge and experience I have acquired during my years abroad. To the visitors, especially those who may be visiting us for the first time, I hope that you have considered leaving some space in your schedule to see our beautiful island, perhaps; hike the quill, take a dive or enjoy some local music and food. I wish you all an enjoyable, informative and productive conference.
