THE Annual General Meeting of Archery Guyana Inc. was successfully held at the Georgetown Club, Camp Street on Friday last with Vidushi Persaud-McKinnon returning as president.
Umasankar Madray is the Vice President, along with Secretary-General Nicholas Hing, Assistant Secretary Ryan McKinnon, Treasurer Robert Singh and Assistant Treasurer Saeed Karim.

At the AGM, Persaud-McKinnon delivered a detailed report and background to the membership, from its establishment in August 2014 to date. This was followed by the delivery of a comprehensive annual report on all of the activities of the federation, which was well received.
At the AGM, elections took place for the positions of Vice-President, Assistant Secretary, and Assistant Treasurer. The electoral process, known for its transparency and adherence to democratic principles, was conducted under the supervision of Mr. Siand Dhurjon, Attorney-at-Law.
Persaud-McKinnon expressed thanks for the professionalism demonstrated and opined that she is pleased that this year saw a number of women coming forward to contest positions on the Board of Directors. This is indicative of gender parity and she encourages more women to step to the fore to take leadership positions. Regrettably, in spite of contenders such as Roshini Boodhoo, Melesa Ramnaraine, Samira Duncan and Narda Mohamed, the electorate did not favour them.
Persaud-McKinnon concluded by urging continuous efforts toward gender balance and inclusivity within the Federation. “While we have made strides towards gender parity, there is still work to be done. I encourage more women to step up and lead. Their involvement is crucial to the diverse and dynamic future of Archery Guyana.”

Archery Guyana is committed to fostering an inclusive environment that supports the development and participation of all members. The Federation looks forward to another year of growth, excellence, and increased engagement from its members.
The Externally Audited Financial Report was presented to the membership and was duly approved. Two motions were unanimously passed to amend the Constitution accordingly.
