A Michael Peters Story: From Boardroom to Beach/Court 🏐🇸🇽
In a world that often separates business from community, Michael Peters stands as a powerful example of how leadership, service, and passion can intersect to build something greater than oneself.
When Michael Peters was appointed to the position of Operations Director at Princess Juliana International Airport, he knew he was stepping into more than just a prestigious position. He was accepting a responsibility—to serve Sint Maarten not only economically, but socially and culturally.
With a background rooted in strategic planning and operational excellence, Michael could have remained within the comfort of corporate circles. But his vision extended beyond the runway. He saw the potential in sports—particularly volleyball—as a vehicle for unity, youth empowerment, and national pride.
Though he had never played volleyball himself, Michael didn’t let that stop him from becoming a champion for the sport. When the opportunity arose to join the Sint Maarteen Volleyball Association, as a director, he didn’t hesitate.
“Anything for the development of sports—especially our country, Sint Maarten. I see it as an opportunity to give back to the community in whatever shape or form,” Michael shared.
His words echo a truth many forget: You don’t have to be an athlete to make a difference in sports.
Michael's involvement will bring a fresh wave of energy to the association. His corporate expertise will help streamline operations, improve outreach, and strengthen partnerships across the island. More than that, his presence will inspire others in the professional world to see sports as a worthy investment—not just in infrastructure, but in people.
