Before she served at CARICOM, Mrs. Chuck-A-Sang held administrative and strategic positions at the government and private sector levels, which afforded her invaluable insights into, and understanding of arbitration procedures, labour negotiations, governance arrangements, parliamentary affairs and diplomacy, an experience which stood her in good stead as she became more immersed in the world of work.

She created the Caribbean Fellowship Inc. as the patron company of the first and only visit by the highly acclaimed University Singers to Guyana and the CARICOM Secretariat, in 2002, a visit which is still a source of fond reminiscence to this day. So, to her credit is the “The Integrationist Quarterly”, a journal especially designed to showcase the creative writings of the youth of the Caribbean, and more recently a Caribbean Research Hub with the capacity to meet the expectations of committed researchers, policymakers and academics.
