Young and Knott Join the Executive Committee of the Centro Caribe Sports.  CCS

Damaris Young from Panama and Annette Knott from Trinidad and Tobago complete the Executive Committee of Centro Caribe Sports after being elected in the vote held in Miami this past Sunday.

Their term will extend from 2023 to 2027. This completes the organization, which, after the elections last October, had two positions yet to be filled, the fourth and fifth members of the Central American and Caribbean organization. The addition of Young and Knott to Centro Caribe Sports means that its Executive Committee will have four women for the first time in history, a milestone that had never occurred before and represents one more member than the previous term.
