Moderators Moderator_02 Posted July 21, 2017 Moderators Share Posted July 21, 2017 This is the eighth in a series of audio podcasts by Chiriqui.Life. The subject of this podcast is Bonnie Williams. She and her husband Larry moved to Boquete in 2007 based on prior travel experiences in Costa Rica and Panama, coupled with her interest in flowers and animals. Bonnie is originally from Florida, well educated, and a former Executive Director of the Florida Commission on Ethics. Today, besides being a Boqueteña, she is one of the two Boquete area Wardens for the US Embassy (Hank Landis is the other Warden). Bonnie has extensive knowledge about expatriation issues based on her personal experiences as well as her role as a Warden; she shares some of the more important factors for those considering expatriation to Panama in general, and Chiriqui Province in particular. She also mentions a few helpful processes for US citizens, such as how to renew a passport without making a trip to PC, etc. Bonnie is involved with and supportive of several Boquete area charitable groups, and was a five-year director of Bid 4 Boquete, a now defunct but very successful umbrella civic/charitable organization. Bonnie mentions the US Embassy in her podcast; here is their contact information: telephone 317-5000, email panama-acs@state.gov.
