The Trinidad and Tobago Olympic Committee 2008 Annual General Meeting was held yesterday at the VIP room at the Hasely Crawford Stadium.
TTOC affiliates in attendance received and approved the 2007 Annual report and audited financial accounts.
In presenting the annual report TTOC secretary general Brian Lewis reported to the AGM that the TTOC executive is concerned that more affiliates are not qualifying athletes for the Olympic games and that meetings will be held with affiliates in in an effort to develop a strategy that will increase qualification levels at future Olympic Games.
The AGM also heard that in accord with its strategic plan the TTOC has strengthened its office staff so as to improve the standard of service provided by the TTOC office.
The TTOC secretary general expressed disappointment that the participation statistics done on TTOC courses ,workshops and events showed that the participation is 55 % or less and that some affiliates were showing no interest in providing their coaches and athletes with the opportunity to benefit from the learning opportunities provided by the TTOC.
