Emilie Ramsahai was elected president of the Chaguaramas Golf Club (CGC) last weekend, becoming the first woman to hold the post. Ramsahai replaces Leslie St Louis, who was successfully voted in as the club’s Secretary, to become the first woman to lead the CGC since its inception in 1974.
The new president was humbled by her elevation to office at the club.
“I appreciate the honour that the members of the Chaguaramas Golf Club have conferred on me,” Ramsahai said. “I would like to thank the past executive of the club for their hard work and congratulate the new executive for offering up their time for the club.” Also elected to the executive was Derek Lutchman, son of the late Hoerman Cup veteran Carlton Lutchman.
The full CGC executive for the 2012-2013 term is as follows: Emilie Ramsahai (president), Derek Lutchman (vice-president), Kathleen Alleyne (secretary), Leslie St Louis (secretary), Christine McShine-Griffin (assistant secretary), Sean Alonzo (men’s captain), Kim Campbell (ladies’ captain), Noel Ellias Youth Coordinator), and Vidia S Ramphal (public relations officer). Keith Morren, Gerard “Tex” Texiera, Andrew “Joe” Renne and Victor Daniel were elected as committee members, while the trustees are Geoffrey Frankson and Anand Singh.
