IN accordance with the terms of the agreement brokered by the FIFA/CONCACAF delegation which visited Guyana in early January of this year, members of the recently appointed Electoral Committee of the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) had their first meeting last Tuesday at the GFF Secretariat in Section ‘K’ Campbellville.
This was in preparation for the execution of their supervisory role in the upcoming GFF elections.
The purpose of this inaugural meeting was to select the Chairman and Deputy Chairman of the Committee and to acquaint members with the guidelines in the FIFA Electoral Code and the GFF Constitution which will provide direction for the Committee to effectively carry out its functions.
At this first meeting the Committee subsequently elected Mr K. A. Juman-Yassin, Attorney-at-Law and president of the Guyana Olympic Association as its Chairman and Ms Emily Dodson, Attorney-at-Law and cricket official, as its Deputy.
The other member of the three-person Committee is Mr Stephen Lewis, with Mr Mark Waldron – both attorneys – as the Alternate.
Also present at the initial meeting were president (ag.) of the GFF, Mr Franklin Wilson, General Secretary, Mr Noel Adonis, and Deputy General Secretary, Mr George Rutherford.
