Sanjay Jiandani, President of AASVG, was elected to the WAA Ethics Committee with the designation of Chair of the committee, a position he will occupy for a 4 year period. “It is a big achievement to be elected to serve on one of the WAA Committees, as it allows our smaller, english speaking federations an opportunity to have a voice on the continental level of World Archery”.
The meeting was chaired by World Archery Americas Secretary General Sergio Font.
Mr. Font also recognized our President, Sanjay Jiandani, for creating and executing the first annual Remote Caribbean Development Archery League (CDAL2024).

Development Activities and Strategic Plan were discussed where it was noted that the Caribbean, being an important part of the Americas, has been steadily growing in the sport. There is need for developing this part of the region, thereby unifying the Americas as a whole, to be able to compete on the international stage.
