Integrity and Good Governance in local Sport is a priority and needs urgent attention

The Trinidad and Tobago Olympic Committee (TTOC) will continue its efforts to foster Good Governance in local sport.

The economic and social potential of  local sport will only be maximized and manifest in sustainable development and growth  on a foundation of good governance.

Critical success factors are transparency, accountability and zero tolerance for corruption and the facilitating of these activities including money laundering and illegal gambling.

Constitution review of all existing National Sport Organisations(NSOs) and their constituent members is the starting point.

Term limitations, the voting in elections by executive committee members, conflict of interest are some of the pressing issues that need to be addressed.

The TTOC remains committed and dedicated to the concept of developing a Good Governance code for its affiliated members and is calling on all TTOC affiliated national sport organisations and national governing bodies to join with the TTOC to modernise sport governance in Trinidad and Tobago.

Sport governance reform in Trinidad and Tobago remains a priority and focus of the Trinidad and Tobago Olympic Committee(TTOC).
