Synopsis

THE SOUL OF A COMMUNITY LEADER Leadership is not about titles; it is not about status. It is about making those around you do better and help them become more. You have to have the confidence to stand alone, the courage to make tough decisions and the compassion to listen to the needs of the people in your community. Without community service, we would not have a strong quality of life and it is my belief that the person who serves and the person who receives assistance both empower themselves through personal growth and development. As a community leader, educator, senator, politician and cabinet minister, the Hon. D. Neletha Butterfield’s historical journey is captured in this book, The Soul of a Community Leader. She served for more than nine years as a cabinet minister in service to the Bermuda Government from 2002-2011. Her first cabinet appointment in 2002, Minister without Portfolio, was followed by six other cabinet appointments: Minister of the Environment; Minister of Education and Development; Minister of Environment, Telecommunications and E-Commerce; Minister of Culture and Social Rehabilitation; Minister of Public Information Services; and Minister of Government Estates and Information Services. From the environment to education, from information technology to culture, from the social needs of the community to public information and from government estates to women’s issues, she has served to educate others with her wisdom, knowledge and understanding. May your soul be blessed as you gain wisdom and knowledge through the reading of her historical journey as a cabinet minister.
