Sports administration workshop at Complex

NEGOTIATION, Financial Management and Conflict Resolution are three of the hot topics to be addressed at an upcoming Sport Administration Workshop.
The workshop will be hosted by the Trinidad and Tobago Alliance for Sport and Physical Education (TTASPE), in collaboration with the TT Olympic Committee (TTOC).
The five-day programme at Jean Pierre Complex, Mucurapo is open to all local sport federations, and starts on Wednesday, March 29 at 1.45 pm.
The workshop will be highly interactive and is designed to take participants through a process involving the development of skills and expertise such as negotiation, club and association formation, writing skills, conflict resolution, volunteer management and finance.
Course facilitator Neil Finlay explained: “During the workshop participants create a sport, develop the governing federation and then go on to host a mock tournament. This allows them to put the knowledge into practice and they become familiar with all the ‘need to knows’ for organising a sport body and conducting successful events.”
Finlay is affiliated to TTASPE through the Australian Caribbean Community Sports Development Programme (ACCSDP), which is funded by the Australian Sports Commission. He has successfully hosted similar regional programmes in Dominica, St Kitts, St Lucia, St Vincent, Tortola and in south Trinidad.
Additional information may be obtained from TTASPE (657-1283). Interested sport administrators are invited to pre-register by calling TTOC (623-7637 / 625-1285).
The cost of the five-day course is $150. Limited space is available.
