The Turks and Caicos Government is pleased to congratulate Ms. Ludwina Fulford on her successful appointment as the new Director of Culture within the Ministry of Tourism.

Ms. Fulford graduated in the top five of the 2001 graduating class of HJ Robinson High School in Grand Turk. She went on to successfully complete a Certificate and Associate Degree in Business Studies from the Turks and Caicos Islands Community College and later received a Bachelor of Arts in Government and International Relations and a Master’s Degree in Management from the Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

She was an employee of Scotiabank TCI for the last seven years as both Personal Banking Officer and Business Banking Manager.

“Ms. Fulford in addition to her academic strengths is also clearly a civic minded individual, which is evidenced through her involvement in the Rotaract Club of Grand Turk where she has held several positions throughout the years including Sergeant at Arms, Fund Raising Director, Club Services Director, President, Assistant District Rotaract Representative and Immediate Past President,” stated Deputy Governor, Anya Williams.

“She performed exceptionally well in the recent recruitment exercise and we look forward to her joining our team and progressing cultural initiatives here in the Turks and Caicos Islands.”

Ms. Fulford added; “I am indeed grateful to be appointed as Director of Culture. It has always been my desire to work in the Public Service, assisted by the TCI Government with my studies, the Civil Service was always my first choice for employment.

“The Culture Department by its very nature dictates an inter sectorial approach to the fulfillment of its mandate. It is, therefore, my intention to embrace the contributions and involvement of both the public and private sectors. As an advocate of a cooperative approach, I am committed to fostering team spirit and unity among my staff and all other stakeholders in Culture.”
