Gladstone Mills

Gladstone Mills OJ OD (12 February 1920 – 26 September 2004)[1] was a Jamaican academic, sportsman, and public servant.[3] His younger brother Don Mills went on to enjoy a notable career in public service,[4] including a post as Jamaica's Ambassador to the United Nations.[1] Michael Manley appointed Mills as the first chairman of Jamaica's Electoral Advisory Committee (EAC),[3] a position that he assumed in 1973 and held until 1979.His iron integrity, steady demeanour, and excellent management crafted the EAC into one of the most important and highly regarded bodies in public life, giving Jamaica a model for problem-solving which may be applied to other areas.[9] Mills died at his home in Acadia Gardens in Saint Andrew Parish, Jamaica, on the morning of 26 September 2004, as a result of coronary problems.
