The Guyana Amateur Bodybuilding and Fitness Federation (GABBFF) will be hosting their Annual General Meeting on Saturday February 18 at the Federation’s head office located at Olympic House, High Street Kingston.
The meeting is expected to feature the President’s report, the treasurer’s report and equally as important, the election of office bearers for the next term.
The current body of officials include Attorney-at-Law Keavon Bess as President.
next term at the helm of GABBFF
Bess has been heading the Federation for two terms now.
Holding other posts are Hugh Ross as Vice-President, Stacy McKinnon as General Secretary, Videsh Sookram as Organising Secretary and Moressa Oscar as Treasurer.
The election, which is held every two years, is particularly important as it will see those elected usher Guyana’s bodybuilding future into a stage where Guyana can be with the top countries of the world as it has seen tremendous growth over the last few years with a number of records being broken.
According to incumbent President, Bess, “Bodybuilding has grown tremendously over the past five years and we have seen a sport on a yearly basis returning with medals from International and Regional Competitions.”
He noted that “We are on the right trajectory of upward movements but more has to be done, from the certification of our Judges to the financial support of our athletes. I am confident that we will get to a position of financial security once corporate Guyana and the Government come on board.”
Bess who has signaled his intentions for running again for the post he currently holds indicated that for the 2017 season, works are already in the pipeline for the season to be unfolded in emphatic fashion with the sport kicking off the year with their annual Novice Competition which is billed for April 8 at Theater Guild, Parade Street.
The AGM is expected to commence at 10:00h.
