The indominable force, strength and contributions that permeate the resilience of women will be celebrated annually on International Women’s Day but at the RDA, we believe in the celebration of those pivotal in our advancement every day.
On International Women’s Day however, we pause to reflect the invaluable contributions that the Women of the RDA have made towards the rebuilding of the Virgin Islands while also highlighting our industry partners who have advanced our recovery efforts.
We wish all women a Happy International Women’s Day!
