After 28 years’ service in the Legislative Assembly, Clerk Wendy Lauer Ebanks retires tomorrow (Friday, 31 July).
Leader of Government Business and Premier Designate, the Hon. McKeeva Bush, OBE, JP, acknowledged in the LA recently that Ms. Lauer Ebanks would be missed as would her impressive grasp on House procedure and practice.
Highlighting her competence and efficiency, Mr. Bush noted the retiring Clerk proved her mettle in organising and conducting the LA’s activities as well as in establishing the LA website, www.cila.ky.
“The public is generally unaware that the LA office is a behind- the- scenes hub of activity. Nor do they know that for the last eight years, it has been Ms. Lauer Ebanks’ hand guiding those activities,” Mr. Bush said.
He thanked her on behalf of the Speaker, Cabinet Ministers, Official Members and MLAs for a job well done.
(Mr. Bush’s written statement on Ms. Lauer Ebanks’ retirement is attached to this release. Mr. Bush also made extemporaneous remarks at the time.)
