He is a member of the Jamaica Urological Society, Caribbean Urological Association, American Urological Association and Association of Surgeons in Jamaica.
Mr. Marlon Morgan is a Communications Specialist with over 15 years of experience at the senior executive level in shaping public policy. He is also a professionally accredited director with considerable expertise in corporate governance, public procurement and public bodies management and accountability. Over the years, Mr. Morgan has served as a Director/Council member on the Board of the following organizations: The Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC), HEART/NSTA Trust, Agro-Investment Corporation (AIC) and the Spectrum Management Authority. In 2016, Mr Morgan served as a Senior Aide to Prime Minister Andrew Holness and for two years thereafter as Senior Advisor in the then Ministry of Industry, Commerce, Agriculture & Fisheries. He is also the former Vice President of the Jamaica Labour Party’s young professional affiliate – Generation 2000 (G2K).
Mr. Delano Seiveright is a strategist, public policy expert, and advocate with extensive experience in governance, tourism development, corporate communications, and stakeholder engagement. As Senior Advisor and Strategist to Minister Edmund Bartlett, Mr. Seiveright plays a pivotal role in expanding and modernizing Jamaica’s tourism sector, which has become a key pillar of the nation’s economy. Mr. Seiveright has also held leadership roles in youth and professional organizations, including serving as President of Generation 2000 (G2K), where he was the youngest person to hold the position. He has also played a key role in discussions that led to cannabis law reform, which was achieved through a broad-based collaboration involving stakeholders across civil society, academia, business, and international partners. Mr. Seiveright has served on several boards and committees such as Jamaica Promotions Corporation (JAMPRO), Jamaica Tourist Board (JTB), Cannabis Licensing Authority (CLA) and National Insurance Fund (NIF).
Prime Minister Holness underscored that these nominations reflect his Administration's continued commitment to strong, effective leadership and governance. He highlighted that the new Senators bring a wealth of experience and expertise that will bolster the Government’s legislative efforts and further national priorities.
“The Senate plays a critical role in our democracy, ensuring the thorough review and passage of legislation that impacts the lives of all Jamaicans. I have strategically selected these professionals because of the immense expertise they bring to Jamaica. I have every confidence they will uphold the highest standards of public service, contribute meaningfully to the legislative process and, ultimately, accelerate Jamaica's development.” — Prime Minister Holness.
On behalf of the people of Jamaica, Prime Minister Andrew Holness welcomes Dr. Thompson, Mr. Morgan and Mr. Seiveright to national public service.
