Re: Nomination of Lynton Scotland– Governing Board of the Virgin Islands Water and Power 
Authority 
 
Dear Mr. President: 
In accordance with the provisions of Title 30, Chapter 5 § 103 of the Virgin Islands Code, I hereby 
nominate Mr. Lynton Scotland to serve as a member of the Governing Board of the Virgin Islands Water and 
Power Authority (WAPA). In his capacities as Global Sourcing Leader for DuPont Protection and Co-founder 
and Vice President for Sustainable Star LLC, he has demonstrated leadership in the field of energy. He also 
offers engineering expertise and experience as a former engineer for Ernie Green Industries, Martin Marietta 
Alumina, and Hercules Incorporated.  
Accordingly, it is my pleasure to ask for the advice and consent of the Thirty-Sixth Legislature of the 
Virgin Islands on the nomination of Mr. Lynton Scotland. When Mr. Scotland is confirmed by the Legislature, 
he will replace Mr. Lionel Selwood and serve as Mr. Selwood’s successor. His resume and questionnaire are 
enclosed for your review. I respectfully urge the Legislature to take timely action to advance this nomination to 
prevent any delays in the official functions of the Virgin Islands Water and Power Authority. 
 
Your prompt and favorable confirmation will enhance the Virgin Islands Water and Power Authority to 
meet its demanding operations and the continued work to serve the people of the United States Virgin Islands. 
 
Sincerely, 
 
 
Albert Bryan Jr. 
Governor
