ADDRESS BY THE MOST HON PORTIA SIMPSON MILLER, PRIME MINISTER, ON THE NATIONAL HOUSING TRUST’S 30TH ANIVERSARY AWARDS FUNCTION JAMAICA PEGASUS HOTEL

WHAT A TRULY BLESSED OCCASION THIS IS WHEN WE CAN COME TOGETHER TO CELEBRATE SUCCESS, PERSISTENCE AND VISION.
THE FACT THAT WE CAN HONOUR 238 MEMBERS OF THE NATIONAL HOUSING TRUST TEAM FOR TEN YEARS AND MORE OF SERVICE, SPEAKS VOLUMES OF THE KIND OF ORGANIZATION THIS IS.
THE FACT THAT AS MANY AS 73 PERSONS HAVE SERVED BETWEEN 15 AND 19 YEARS WITH ANOTHER 33 BETWEEN 20 AND 30 YEARS SAYS THAT THIS IS A QUALITY ORGANIZATION WHICH HAS MANAGED TO DELIVER A FIRST-CLASS EXPERIENCE NOT JUST TO ITS EXTERNAL CUSTOMERS BUT TO ITS INTERNAL CUSTOMERS AS WELL.
SO RIGHT FROM THE START I WANT TO CONGRATULATE THE LEADERSHIP OF THE NHT, BOTH PAST AND PRESENT, FOR HAVING RECOGNIZED THAT TOTAL QUALITY MANAGEMENT IS ONLY A CLICH
