CAY HILL, Sint Maarten— The Integrity Chamber bids farewell to two (2) of its founding members, Mr. Rafael Boasman and Mr. Hans Lodder on the conclusion of their terms. Their unwavering dedication and invaluable contributions have been instrumental in promoting integrity within our community.
Mr. Boasman, a seasoned expert in government administration and labour relations, has served Sint Maarten in various high-profile capacities. Notably, he held the position of Justice Minister from December 20, 2016, to January 15, 2018, and served as Prime Minister from November 24, 2017, to January 15, 2018. His extensive experience and steadfast commitment have been pivotal in guiding the Integrity Chamber’s mission.
Mr. Lodder brought a wealth of experience from his distinguished military career, where he held four operational command positions, including three warship commands and a regional command. His leadership was exemplified during the successful liberation of the pirate-hijacked ship, MS Taipan, resulting in the safe release of its crew, and was honoured with the Royal Award, the “Admiral de Ruyter Medal.” His strategic insights and dedication have significantly contributed to the Integrity Chamber’s endeavours.
Both Mr. Boasman and Mr. Lodder were appointed as quartermasters in April 2018, playing crucial roles in establishing the Integrity Chamber. Their leadership and vision have been foundational to the organisation’s success.
The members and staff of the Integrity Chamber extend their deepest gratitude for Mr. Boasman’s and Mr. Lodder’s service and wishes them continued success in their future endeavours. Their legacy will undoubtedly inspire ongoing efforts to uphold integrity within Sint Maarten.
