Cana, Dominican Republic from October 30 to November 1 with FIVB

Marte Hoffiz was elected president for the first time for the
2001-2005 four-year term, and since then the Dominican
Republic’s native has won three consecutive elections unopposed.
A total of 33 out of 41 National Federations and Territories
have expressed their support to his re-election.
Under Marte Hoffiz’s presidency, the NORCECA Confederation has
reached levels of excellence in terms of the regular
organization of the corresponding competitions and the different
regions have received the necessary support for the development
of the game in their geographical areas of influence.
In the administrative aspect, the growth of NORCECA is tangible
with modern offices and a full staff of officials and employees
in the different departments like management, finances,

and medical.
