Ephraim Serrette will run for another term as president of the National Association of Athletics Administration (NAAA).
Serrette vacates the top post at tomorrow’s annual general meeting (AGM) and is confident of being returned to office. “As far as I know I’m unopposed.”
The former sprinter was first elected president in 2006, in a by-election, following the resignation of Ken Doldron. Serrette was re-elected the following year to serve a full three-year term.
Three of the four NAAA vice-presidents are expected to offer themselves for re-election--George Comissiong (first vice-president), Dr Ian Hypolite (second vice-president) and Durly Lucas (fourth vice-president).
Serrette said that while Comissiong and Hypolite will run for the posts they now occupy, Lucas will contest the post of third vice-president, since the incumbent, James Dedier, is not expected to seek re-election.
Of the 15 men and women on Serrette’s slate for tomorrow’s election, ten are members of the outgoing executive.
The five new persons hoping to be elected for the 2010-13 term are Nadine Hamid, who will run for fourth vice-president; Trevor James, who will offer himself for the post of public relations officer; Paul Voisin, Ali St Louis and Robin Brereton. Voisin, St Louis and Brereton will bid to be among the five committee members on the new executive.
The NAAA secretary and assistant secretary are chosen by the executive.
Alan Baboolal is the incumbent secretary, while Dexter Voisin currently serves as assistant secretary.
