Dorothy ‘Micky’ Pine-McLarty

In law for some 35 years, and a partner at Myers, Fletcher and Gordon, ‘Micky’ Pine- McLarty returned to Jamaica from the United Kingdom, where she was managing partner, until June 1998. Her tall, elegant stature, turns many a head as she fulfils her numerous commitments: Active member of the Methodist Church, The Jamaica Basic Schools’ Foundation (United Kingdom) Limited, Jamaica National Building Society and Jamaica National (Overseas) UK Limited.

She’s also a member of the Board of Governors of the St Andrew High School for Girls and is the Chancellor’s appointee to the Council of the University of Technology and currently serves as an Independent Member, appointed by the Governor General to the Electoral Advisory Committee.

‘Micky’ Pine McLarty is married to Herman, a real estate developer, and is mother to two fine young Jamaicans, Rachael and Matthew.

Dr Patricia Marshall-Dunwell

Say skin in Jamaica and the name Dunwell immediately springs to mind. She’s a woman who exudes calm, sophistication and a knowledge of the skin — in particular acne. Ask the many teenagers and adults who have sat in front of this consultant dermatologist and dermatological surgeon.

Seemingly never to have ever had a pimple on her face Dr Dunwell has tracked the dilemmas of the skin in numerous publications and still finds time to offer community service and to be affiliated with the Fellow of American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery; Fellow of American Academy of Dermatology, and Fellow of American Society for Dermatological Surgery. She is a member of the Caribbean Dermatology Association; the Canadian Society of Phlebolog, and the Dermatology Association of Jamaica.

M Audrey Hinchcliffe MSc, BA RN

A nurse by profession Audrey, upon completion of her studies at the University Hospital School of Nursing, commenced work with the Ministry of Health and then later worked as an Industrial Nurse with the Sugar Industry Labour Welfare Board. She later migrated to the USA in 1967 where she worked in a variety of nursing positions and attended college earning a BA in Community Health, followed shortly by an MBA at Long Island University. She also holds a certificate in Health Economics from University of York, UK.

Today Audrey, a nominee of The Jamaica Observer Business Leader of the Year is the founder, CEO and chairman of Manpower and Maintenance Services Ltd — the “powerhouse” in the janitorial grounds and landscaping maintenance.

Lois Lake Sherwood

Artist, Burger King and Pulse all come to mind when this petite woman’s name is called. Educated at Centre d’Arts Haiti, Instituto San Miguel de Allende in Mexico, The Pastel Society of New York City and Scottsdale Phoenix Arizona Art Workshops, Lois has found a way to marry business and art and most important, involve the community.

Her career has not been the typical studio route of many an artist, but has taken her from furniture retailer, antique dealer, developer of residential homes, and finally a franchise holder of the Burger King chain of restaurants in Jamaica.

Lois was appointed director of the National Gallery of Jamaica in 1998 and Honorary Consul of the Republic of Lithuania in 2000.

She spearheaded “Market Place” an art and craft fair held in King Street for two years to encourage people to go downtown, and organised workshops in the inner cities introducing paper mache craft. She also spearheaded the exposure of Jamaican dancers to Lituania, by sending the L’Acadco dancers on a two-month contract.
