D.O.T. Commissioner Beverly Nicholson-Doty announced that Ms. Henneman-Todman, formerly manager for media and travel industry relations for St. Thomas and St. John, assumes the role immediately.

Ms. Henneman-Todman, whose responsibilities also include maintaining clear and regular communications between the D.O.T., the local community and its external agencies, is a graduate of Charlotte Amalie High School and the University of the Virgin Islands where she earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Social Psychology.

As a member of the Tourism team, she received the Employee of the Year distinction on two occasions and is the 2015 Tommy Star Recipient for Public Service.
According to the release, Ms. Henneman-Todman’s dedication to the U.S. Virgin Islands has led to a number of promotions within the D.O.T.’s communications division.
