Golden League Archery brings fresh energy and heart to the national archery landscape. My door remains open, and Archery Guyana stands ready to support your journey every step of the way,” Persaud-McKinnon said.
She underscored the importance of working collaboratively and noted that the federation’s Board of Directors remained steadfast in its mission to empower all clubs under its umbrella.
Golden League Archery Club, which will operate out of Sophia, adds an exciting new dimension to the sport’s reach and accessibility. The club has already laid groundwork for developmental programming and athlete engagement in its community and beyond.
