TIJUANA, Mexico, May 1, 2016 - The Pan American Volleyball Union
held its statutory assemby at the Grand Hotel Tijuana after the
conclusion of the Norceca Board of Administration and Executive
Committee meetings.
During the assembly the Ceremony of the Union’s Presidency
Transition took place after Cristobal Marte Hoffiz (of Norceca)
passed the torch to Rafael Lloreda Currea (of the South American
Confederation-CSV).
Among the most important points of Union’s working plan there is
the goal to solidify the Final Four tournaments that join the
best teams of both hemispheres in the Americas.
Along with that there is the objective of keeping the impulse of
the Pan American Cup, a competition that has become a flagship
event in both genders.
Also the Union looks forward to build a financial structure by
funding resources through the percentage received from ticket
box income in volleyball matches at the Pan Am Games that will
be celebrated in Lima, Peru, in 2019 as well as in the upcoming
editions.
Another project that was put on the table a few years ago has
been the launch of a Pan American Beach Volleyball Circuit that
can feature the best tandems of all the continent in both
genders.
“The Pan American Union has opened a big and very important door
to all of us, and I’m sure that we can get very good things. We
will work together and will need the help of all and every one
of you,” said Lloreda after being acclaimed as new president in
charge.
Delegates from different member countries of the Norceca and the
CSV were present at the assembly.
Every four years the presidents of Norceca and CSV alternate the
lead of the Union as part of the agreements reached ten years
ago when this entity was born in 2006. |
