ISTT Management Engages in Historic Review Exercise

On Saturday June 18, 2011, an expanded Management Committee of ISTT went into an historic half-day retreat at the Crews Inn restaurant, Chaguaramas, to review the role of the ISTT. This activity was prompted by the need for the ISTT to reposition itself to remain a vibrant institution, relevant and supportive to its many members, amidst the economic slowdown in Trinidad and Tobago today. In addition, new market and social conditions have added to the imperative for readjustment of our Institution. The deliberations of the retreat culminated in the provision of a Charter Plan … "The Way Forward", including the drafting of Vision and Mission Statements.
