Dr Robert Mathavious is the Territory’s newest recipient of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the Queen’s 2020 Birthday Honours for his contributions to financial services.
“I come from a small country, where any person not reaching his or her full potential is a big loss to us. My parents instilled that kind of attitude in all of us. But equally, by faith, I’m a Christian and foolishly, I have this drive that maybe I can help everybody. My thing is to help anybody…try to see people move from where they are to becoming something better.”
As we enter this new decade, now is an opportune time to pause, to reflect on our past accomplishments, and to map out our first steps toward new endeavours.
President of the H. Lavity Stoutt Community College, Dr. Richard Georges explained that the Financial Services Institute at HLSCC, which was created in 2002, was in large part due to Dr. Mathavious’ vision and passion for the education and elevation of BVIslanders.
