THE VALLEY, Anguilla (Monday, March 29, 2021) — Shellya Rogers-Webster has been promoted to Deputy Director of the Anguilla Tourist Board (ATB).

In her new capacity, Rogers-Webster will be predominantly responsible for leading and managing the Anguilla Tourist Board’s internal and external relationships and communications, including financial management, human resources, public relations, government relations, ATB policy, and corporate restructuring.

“I am very pleased to see Mrs. Shellya Rogers-Webster elevated to the post of Deputy Director of Tourism,” stated Minister of Tourism, Haydn Hughes. “She brings a wealth of knowledge and a level of professionalism that is a hallmark of the Ministry.  I look forward to continuing to work with Mrs. Rogers-Webster, over the next four-and-a-half years, and beyond.”
