When mandates are given to any organization sporting or otherwise,it is in the best interest of all concerned that nothing or very little is done to have any negative 'vibes'.
My involvement in netball over the years has given me the opportunity to befriend many of the players in more ways than one. I have always found it necessary to give an honest opinion whether the individual approved or not.
Sunday ( January 18th,2009) was no exception. Receiving a telephone call asking for my assistance via this blog was amazing.The caller wanted to know if the BNA can change it's name from BARBADOS NETBALL ASSOCIATION to NETBALL BARBADOS without consulting the general body. I think not! I further told the caller that I would ask a question and the answer given.
My honest opinion is this. A special general meeting with the membership of the BNA should be convened and the rationale behind the change given. The final decision should be made by means of a vote. Also if the organization is registered as a small business, the correct procedure of changing the name has to be done and a fee paid.
2009 will always be about CHANGE!!!
Any name change to the Barbados Netball Association will have to be done via a constitution.
ReplyDeleteThe name of the Assocaition is the first article of the Association and so must be done that way.
