“I appreciate the recognition and the vote of confidence from the Board and look forward to the challenges and responsibility that come with this position,” said Richardson.  “I am committed to Anguilla and to the ATB, and I am proud of the work we have done to expand and enhance our tourism industry and our visitor experience.  I am confident that with the support of my colleagues, we will continue to grow our industry and make a positive difference in the lives of our fellow Anguillians, as Tourism is our economic lifeline.”
