Fellow Alums, it is indeed a great honor to be elected yet again, to serve as your President of NRMSS Alumni Association. Thank you for trusting me with this role. I am truly humbled by the positive expressions conveyed and for the confidence shown in my abilities. This is a responsibility I will not take lightly. I endeavor to execute all duties with transparency.
I am extremely lucky to have an amazing team of dedicated alums, committed to working with the school, the PTA, the various alumni chapters, organizations, and persons/alums who desire to give back and or pay it forward. My mission is to listen, obtain and provide feedback, collaborate, delegate and work side by side with the various teams, so that together we can attain the goals and objectives of NRMSS.
This is a volunteer organization, so I am appreciative of everyone who has agreed to serve on this committee. Thank you all for your valuable time. I also want to thank those who attend our general meetings and acknowledge and thank those who attend our fundraising events. Thanks to those who volunteer behind the scenes. We see you. We acknowledge and appreciate you. Thanks for those paying dues and finally all those who make donations to the association and to the school. Thank you.
We are a very diverse team. Diversity is an advantage and an asset we can benefit from. It can be used to bridge gaps that exist between the various generations of past students. In addition, we have acquired different skill sets, experiences, and abilities, which, if harnessed properly, can result in positive outcomes for NRMSS. Therefore, I would like to urge fellow alums in the diaspora to come onboard and help us become the dynamic and productive organization we can be.
Success is often achieved when everyone works together. Thus, as we work to fulfill the school’s prioritized requests, we must collaborate and work in teams. I have learned that working side by side, listening to everyone’s ideas, soliciting everyone’s input/buy-in, feedback and opinions, and then voting on the best and most effective choices, works. So, I look forward to working with all of you, to continue advancing the established goals and objectives, geared towards aiding the students of NRMSS/NRSS.
In closing, as we approach the school’s 50th anniversary, September 2025, we have agreed to work together with the school, the PTA, and the various chapters, to host a celebratory week of events in Guyana. Please plan to attend. Plan to be there. Plan to join a subcommittee, so this venture can be successful.
Let us continue working together to achieve all NRMSS’s goals that are geared towards helping the students and staff. After all, “Teamwork does make the dream work”.
Respectfully,
Renita A.Tyler
President
