Haitian President Michel Martelly is continuing his bid to support the country’s outer regions and decentralize Haiti’s government.

The country remains without a formal government, however, with Laurent Lamothe its still-unconfirmed Prime Minister Designate.

Martelly continued his push in the city of Cotes de Fer, where he celebrated the festival honoring St Joseph this weekend, distributing motorcycles to promote transport for small businesses and observing the donation of 15 internet-connected computers to the area’s National School.

Silversea Cruises on March 19 announced the appointment of Ellen Bettridge as president of the Americas. She will head the company’s Fort Lauderdale office effective April 9. Bettridge most recently served as vice president of the American Express U.S. Retail Travel Network.
