Kurtwood Greene, third vice president of the Bahamas Volleyball Federation (BVF), was elected as treasurer of the Caribbean Zonal Volleyball Association (CAZOVA) during the electoral congress held at the BRIX Hotel on Coblentz Avenue, Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, in December, 2023.
The congress was attended by 12 of 14 national federation members and was held under the supervision of North, Central American and Caribbean Volleyball Confederation (NORCECA) President Cristóbal Marte Hoffiz.
Mushtaque Mohammed, of Trinidad and Tobago, was re-elected as president and Kennedy McGowan, of the Cayman Islands, was re-elected as first vice president.
Also re-elected were Bonaire’s Gisette Emer as second vice president, Jamaica’s Jacqueline Cowan as secretary general and board member Filomena Daniel-Curiel, of Aruba. Mark Lewis, of Barbados, was elected as a board member.
Greene is the first Bahamian CAZOVA board member since former BVF President Don Cornish in 2002.
“I am truly grateful to the BVF for nominating me for this position,” said Greene. “My focus is to provide full transparency, especially with all financial matters while improving the conditions of volleyball within the region and to represent The Bahamas with pride.”
Greene, who is vying for the presidency of the BVF this month, indicated that he will do everything on his power to implement a strategic plan that includes among other things, improving good governance, building partnerships with all stakeholders, and providing a consistent development environment for athletes.
“At the end of the day, my focus is to leave volleyball in a better state and to make my beloved Bahamas the envy of the region,” said Greene.
As mentioned, Greene has offered himself for the presidency of the BVF during its election of officers that is scheduled for later this month.
