President Philip Fernandes was re-elected president of the Guyana Hockey Board (GHB), when the entity staged its Annual General Meeting (AGM) on Saturday.
This was disclosed by a release from the entity.
According to the correspondence, “The meeting was well attended as the virtual nature seemed to make it more convenient for participants and all local clubs were fully represented. The agenda for this meeting included: The President’s Report, the Secretary’s report, the Auditor’s report, review of the amended GHB constitution and election of office bearers for the period 2022/23.”
The other elected executives were Vice-Presidents Tricia Fiedtkou and Brian Asregado, Honorary Secretary Maria Atkinson-Monroe, Treasurer Roger Perrera, Assistant Secretary/Treasurer Charlyn Elliot, and Committee Members Alan Newark and Shundell Durant. The returning officer was Michael Xavier, Attorney-at-Law.
President Fernandes disclosed that newly elected body will prioritize the recently launched Sports Academy which is an initiative of the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport and the National Sports Commission.
He added that emphasis will also be placed on acquiring an artificial surface for the discipline as Guyana remains the only nation in the region without such a facility.
“The GHB is currently engaged in discussions with the National Sports Commission for the continued development of hockey and the acquisition of an artificial playing surface,” the release added.
