THE Board of Directors of the National Communications Network (NCN) is pleased to announce the appointment of two new members of the network’s management team, who will function as Programme Manager and Human Resources Manager respectively.

In a release, NCN said veteran broadcaster and theatre personality Ronald Robinson has assumed the post of Programme Manager, while Ms. Tishikta De Costa assumed the post of HR Manager, both with effect from May 3, 2016.

Based on the current revitalization process underway at NCN, Robinson emerged the most suitable candidate following a shortlist and interview process conducted by members of the Board and a professional HR consultant. He brings to the network more than 40 cumulative years of experience in radio and television, and a wealth of knowledge pertaining to the Guyana broadcast landscape, training, and production management.

Prior to her appointment as the new HR Manager of NCN, Ms De Costa, who also went through a similar interview process, had worked in the Human Resources Division of the Audit Office, Guyana Revenue Authority and Unicomer.

She brings to the network approximately eight years’ experience in recruitment, staff welfare, people management, and HR strategic planning and budgeting, among other critical areas.

“The Board welcomes both Mr. Robinson and Ms. De Costa, and wishes them every success in enhancing the operations of NCN,” a Board statement has said.
