Aubrey Hutson was re-elected President of the Athletic Association of Guyana (AAG) for another four-year term when the body held its Annual General Meeting (AGM) yesterday at the National Resource Centre.
Hutson will continue to lead the association tasked with promoting Track and Field in what will be his second term at the helm after garnering six out of a possible nine votes. His challenger, Guyana Defense Force Major, Shen Fung had the remainder.
The AAG’s AGM also saw the re-election of Treasurer, Nial Stanton while Amanda Hermonstine (six votes) and Colin Ming (five) were voted in as the two Vice Presidents.
Hermonstine and Ming were elected ahead of Godfrey Washington and Hector Edwards who had three votes apiece and former AAG head, Colin Boyce who had a single vote.
Elton Bollers will be tasked with the duties of Assistant Treasurer while the five Committee Members elected were Keith Campbell (seven votes), Lyndon Wilson (six), Yvonne October (six), Silus Brummell (five) and Buster Wright (four).
Speaking with this publication following his re-election, Hutson stated he felt very “heartened” to be re-elected by the clubs.
“Once again it’s an honour and a pleasure to serve in this capacity as AAG’s President. I am heartened by the show of support by most of the clubs and I think any President would be elated by winning an election six votes to three.”
Hutson added “To the three members who did not vote for me, I want to reach out to them and ask them to get onboard and let’s continue to move this sport forward because it would require us all, not just the clubs that voted for me.”
Hutson then disclosed that the executive will meet and hold discussions which will be followed by a media briefing.
High on the agenda will be the relocation of the AAG’s headquarters from his business premises in Alberttown.
