Pablo Mitchell and Millie Eyre are stepping down from the Committee and, due to their University commitments, will not seek re-election. We have greatly valued the input they have been able to make to the committee's work, not least representing the island's youth at Ministerial Forum's and other meetings. We wish them well in their studies and all that follows.
