GEORGE’S GRENADA, MARCH 24, 2025- It is with deep appreciation and gratitude that we announce the upcoming retirement of the Partnership Initiative for Sustainable Land Management’s esteemed Executive Director, Mr. Calvin James, effective July 31, 2025.
James has been an integral part of the Partnership Initiative for Sustainable Land Management (PISLM), leading with vision, dedication, and an unwavering commitment to our mission since its inception twenty (20) years ago.
Under his leadership, PISLM has achieved significant milestones, including the implementation of projects, expanded its impact, and strengthened community partnerships across the region. James’ contributions have been instrumental in advancing sustainable land management agenda in the Caribbean, fostering regional and international cooperation, and promoting environmental sustainability. PISLM extends our heartfelt thanks to Mr. James for his years of dedicated service and wishes him all the best in this next chapter of his journey.
PISLM continues to evolve, from becoming a fully established Intergovernmental Organization (IGO), to setting up its headquarters and additional regional offices. This transformation is expected to enhance our capacity to fulfill our mandate, drive sustainable land management and land degradation neutrality efforts with greater efficiency, and further strengthen regional collaboration.
The Partnership Initiative for Sustainable Land Management (PISLM) appreciates your continued support and partnership as we navigate this transition and embark on the next phase of our journey.
