The enthusiastic response to the Trinidad and Tobago Olympic Committee(TTOC) Sport Administration Course which will be held 22-24 September at the Lystra Lewis Administration center augurs well for the future.
Larry Romany, the National Olympic Committee president says the course is aimed at young and inexperienced sport administrators and persons interested in volunteering to assist sport clubs and organizations.
"The course will be held on Republic weekend to avoid clashing with work related commitments. We all know the challenges volunteers in particular face".
"I am heartened by the interest because it means that there is a genuine commitment and desire to improve [sports administration] at the grassroots and club level"
Romany reiterated the TTOC's commitment to building the sport management capabilities within its affiliates given the vital and critical role that sports administrators play in the sustainable development of sport.
"There are issues of transparency, accountability and legitimacy that need to be addressed and I believe that by sharing the information and knowledge the TTOC is facilitating and deepening prospects for greater effectiveness and efficiency in the way sport is managed and administrated here in T&T".
