Costumed mascots are commonplace & are regularly used as goodwill ambassadors in the community for their team, company or organization.
On Thursday March 25th 2010, WIB introduced their very own Kompa Leon Mascot.
At MCB, the mascot was introduced years ago & WIB always used theirs for their events.
Now, they can do even more than their events, since the intention is for Kompa Leon to be a positive influence for the community of St.Maarten & especially for the children. Be it for education or for the HIV awareness, Mr.Kompa Leon will be there to encourage the community.
The following were present during the launching of the Mascot:
Deputy Managing Director: Mr. Derek Downes

Managing Director: Mr. Jan J. Beaujon
Asst. Managing Director: Mr. Kelvin Bloyden
