Members of the Grenada Football Association Executive say\u00a0 they feel more empowered to make improvements to the governance and administration of\u00a0 football. This follows the Executive Mentorship Program facilitated by Concacaf at the Radisson\u00a0 Grenada Beach Resort on October 8 and 9.<\/p>\n
The Confederation commenced the program in 2019 aimed at promoting effective leadership,\u00a0 good governance and making the right decisions to grow football across the 41 member states\u00a0 of Concacaf.The two-day workshop was facilitated by Head of One Concacaf and Caribbean\u00a0 Projects Howard Mcintosh, General Secretary of the Bermuda Football Association and Concacaf\u00a0 Instructor David Sabir and Caribbean Director of Member Associations\u2019 Affairs, Horace Reid.<\/p>\n
Among the topics covered were the roles and functions of the Executive Committee, roles of the\u00a0 General Secretary and the framework of Concacaf and the GFA as well as best practices, effective\u00a0 communication, strategic planning and handling crises.<\/p>\n
The workshop opened with a prerecorded message from Concacaf President Victor Montagliani\u00a0 followed by opening remarks from GFA President Marlon Glean who reminded his fellow\u00a0 members that they were chosen to serve. He said, \u201c If we are not here to serve, we are in the\u00a0 wrong business. We are in the business of developing and helping young people to reach their\u00a0 potential through football. We must understand and accept our roles as servants of the people\u00a0 who put us here.\u201d<\/p>\n
After the workshop, Executive members shared that they felt more confident in improving the\u00a0 administration of football. GFA Director for Carriacou and Petite Martinique Duane Williams said,\u00a0 \u201cI have a better understanding of our role and how we interact with the General Secretary and\u00a0 other members of staff at the Secretariat as it relates to pushing forward the development of\u00a0 football,\u201d while second Vice President Randy Campbell said, \u201c It was refreshing to re-examine our<\/p>\n
roles as directors in the development of football and I would like to see this information filter\u00a0 down to our clubs.\u201d<\/p>\n
Concacaf has underlined the importance of expanding skills and competence levels of the game\u2019s\u00a0 administrators, a move which is projected to contribute greatly to the benefit of wider\u00a0 governance goals in the confederation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
