She adds that leadership doesn’t always wear a title and shows up in early starts, late finishes, quiet perseverance, and teamwork.

Minister for Sugar Industry Charan Jeath Singh was also present at the opening.

Singh says the decision to have a female staff member lead the opening is part of the commitment to equity and empowerment.

This year’s theme is “A New Tradition: Honoring Our Own.”
