DAME?MAIZIE?BARKER-Welch has been lauded as one who does not push herself to the forefront but waits until she is called.
And Prime Minister Freundel Stuart is appealing to those who cannot wait, to take a leaf out of the former MP’s book and just wait until they are chosen.
Stuart said too many people put in to get out and focused too much on personal aggrandisement.
He was paying tribute to Dame Maizie at a ceremony in her honour at the Lloyd Erskine Sandiford Centre last night presented by the Democratic League of Women.
Tributes also came from former Prime Minister Sir Lloyd Sandiford, parliamentary representative for St John Mara Thompson and former diplomat Frank Dasilva.
