NEW YORK, NY (CMC) – CONCACAF’s executive committee meeting will sit down later this week in a strategic retreat to develop a new business plan as newly elected president Jeffrey Webb continues to move swiftly to re-energise an organisation rattled by last year’s cash-for-votes scandal. The meeting, following on from one late last month in Miami, will be staged in Cayman Islands and will examine CONCACAF’s objectives, vision, structure, and governance with a deep emphasis on financial planning, competitions, development and branding.
“This occasion is not only important in the history of football in the Cayman Islands, but it is also important in the history of CONCACAF,” Webb pointed out.
“This will mark a turning point for CONCACAF, as we will, over the next few days, analyse every aspect of the confederation, with the aim of creating a business plan.
We will be reviewing everything from the structure to the finances of CONCACAF.  Our aim is to ensure that CONCACAF is properly positioned as a major sporting organisation to serve and complement its member associations and to develop football throughout the region.”
In last month’s meeting, Webb and the executive committee created three new committees – the Integrity, Audit & Compliance and Ethics – in a move geared at reforming the organisation.
CONCACAF, the continental governing body for football in North, Central America and the Caribbean, was left in tatters after taking a severe backlash from the cash-for-vote scandal.
Long-serving president Jack Warner resigned at the height of the scandal and several other administrators were hit with bans from world governing body, FIFA, for their role in the controversy.
Webb was elected in May to continue the term started by Trinidadian Warner.
