KURTWOOD Greene, the third vice president of the Bahamas Volleyball Federation (BVF), was elected to the Caribbean Zonal Volleyball Association (CAZOVA) Board of Administration during the electoral congress held at the Brix Hotel on Coblentz Avenue in Port of Spain on Sunday, December 17, 2023.

The congress was attended by 12 of 14 national federation members and was held under the supervision of North, Central America and Caribbean Volleyball Confederation (NORCECA) president Cristóbal Marte Hoffiz.

CAZOVA members include Aruba, Bahamas, Barbados, Bonaire, Cayman Islands, Curacao, Guadeloupe, Haiti, Jamaica, Martinique, Suriname, US Virgin Islands, Trinidad and Tobago and Turks and Caicos Islands.

Mushtaque Mohammed of Trinidad and Tobago was re-elected as president along with Cayman Islands’ Kennedy McGowan (first vice-president); Bonaire’s Gisette Emer (second vice-president), Jamaica’s Jacqueline Cowan (secretary general) and board member Filomena Daniel Curiel of Aruba along with newly appointed Bahamian Kurtwood Greene (treasurer) and board member, Mark Lewis of Barbados.

Greene is the latest board member from The Bahamas since Don Cornish, who served as president in 2001-2002.

“I am truly grateful to the BVF for nominating me for this position,” Greene said. “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 also vying for the presidency of the BVF in January 2024, indicated that he will do everything in his power to implement a strategic plan that includes amongst other things improving good governance, building partnerships with all stakeholders, and providing a consistent development environment for athletes.
