Sir Royston Hopkin of Grenada is one of four new directors appointed by the West Indies Cricket Board to serve on ICC Cricket World Cup WI 2007 Inc., in wake of the resignations that hit the board last month. The others are Kittian Jennifer Nero, Ambassador David Shoul of Antigua & Barbuda and Ken Boyea of St. Vincent & the Grenadines. The institutions with representation on the board - CARICOM, Caribbean Tourism Organisation and the University of the West Indies - have also been invited to reconfirm representatives in due course, an official release said yesterday. Ken Gordon, president of the West Indies Cricket Board and CWC WI 2007 Inc., board chairman, said he welcomed the new appointees. “We are extremely grateful for the contributions by the entire board and extend a warm welcome to the new directors,” Gordon said. “As nationals of countries not previously represented on the CWC 2007 board, we anticipate their important contributions as we enter the operational phase of the event.” Sir Royston is the president and chief executive officer of Spice Island Inn Resort and has been president of both the Caribbean Hotel Association and the Grenada Hotel Association while Ambassador Shoul is a prominent businessman in Antigua & Barbuda and his country’s non-resident ambassador to the People’s Republic of China. Boyea, a businessman, is the former head of the Eastern Caribbean Group of Companies while Nero is a senior director of the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank in charge of the Internal Audit Department.
