Bertha Cuadra re-elected as president of Nicaragua Federation

 

   

MANAGUA, Nicaragua, January 2, 2016 – Bertha Cuadra was re-elected as President of the Nicaraguan Volleyball Federation during the General Assembly held at the premises of the National Olympic Committee.

 

Cuadra will preside over the FNVB for the 2016-19 period accompanied by Judith Sandino as Vice President, Magdalena Sandoval, General Secretary, Aaron Silva, Treasurer and Rene Quintana, Fiscal Officer.

 

The General Assembly had the presence of delegates from the associations of Madriz, Chinandega, Matagalpa, Carazo, Managua, Northern Autonomous Region, Estelí and Granada.

 

Cuadra presented her activities’ report, underlining the organization of the national championships in all the youth and junior categories as well as the Mini-Volleyball Festivals and the Beach Volleyball National Tour.

 

Cuadra thanked the support received from the NORCECA Confederation for the international events which has contributed to the participation of the Central American countries to continental events and in the elimination process to the Olympic Games and the World Championships.

 

“To be re-elected as president of the FNVB represents a new challenge since it needs a hard work with a lot of national and international commitments because we have to continue developing volleyball, above all, at the school level that requires the most attention,” Cuadra said. “We will take advantage of the position of Judith (Sandino, member of the Development Commission) at the International Federation to submit the school plan and to start working in that area.”

 

“I want to thank all the associations, the old and new members of the Executive Committee for trusting me to guide volleyball and I hope not to let you down. Our goal is to be medalists in the region, both in volleyball and beach volleyball,” Cuadra added.

 

At the end of the assembly, the Executive Committee of the FNVB distributed sport equipment of the different associations to continue promoting and developing both mini-volley and volleyball in their respective regions.
