NORCECA National Federations are ready for FIVB Congress

SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic, January 29, 2021 -The National Federations and Territories under the umbrella of the NORCECA Volleyball Confederation eagerly await the FIVB World Congress that will be held virtually on February 5, 6 and 7.

On January 27, all but three of the affiliated institutions took part in a workshop organized by FIVB in preparation of the congress utilizing the platforms ZOOM and LUMI to see the presentations and voting system, respectively.

All these institutions have undergone the experience of the NORCECA Congress also held virtually last year and in which they had the opportunity to participate actively in all discussions and elections.

Likewise, during 2020, the zonal associations have held their assemblies virtually due to current travel restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the risks of contagion.

The agenda of the 36th FIVB World Congress has been circulated among all National Federations and it includes:

Presentation of the President's Report, legal presentation, financial report, appointment of the members of the Ethics Panel, choice of gender in minority, election of the Board of Directors, proposals of the Rules Committee.

Also, reports from the FIVB Commissions and the Continental Confederations, update of future FIVB events, affiliations, resignations and expulsions, place and date of the next congress in the Netherlands in 2022, and closing of the Congress by the President of the FIVB.
