PHILIPSBURG:--- On behalf of the Secretary Director of the Council of Advice, Mr. Jessey Salomon, the Council is pleased to announce the official publication of its 2024 Annual Report.
In October 2025, the Council of Advice formally presented its 2024 Annual Report to His Excellency the Governor of St. Maarten, Mr. Ajamu G. Baly, The Honorable President of Parliament, Mrs. Sarah A. Wescott-Williams, and The Honorable Prime Minister, Dr. Luc F.E. Mercelina.
The report provides an overview of the Council’s activities, advice issued, and developments in its operational and governance frameworks throughout the reporting year. A copy of the full report is available for public viewing on the Council’s official website: https://coa.sx/annual-reports/.
