She served as a member of the Antigua and Barbuda National Association (London) for the 24 years preceding her appointment as Governor-General.

Former Governor General Dame Louise Lake-Tack has not yet received the money that is owed to her despite the fact that it has been years since she was removed from office.

In the meeting of the Cabinet that took place in October 2017, the government continued to maintain its stance that the amount she is requesting is excessively high.

According to the most recent press statement released by the government after the Cabinet meeting, they continue to believe that Dame Louise Lake-Tack is asking for too much.

After the government complained to the Queen that her then-viceregal representative was being uncooperative with the Labour Party administration, the money that was being requested became payable when she agreed to leave office in August of 2014.

In December 2014, Dame Louise took the government to court to seek compensation for the many times she had been unsuccessful in determining when and how she would be paid.
