PATRON of the 2022 Carifta Track and Field Games Richard Pandohie met with officials of the National Association of Athletic Administrations (NAAA) at the Hyatt Regency Hotel, Port of Spain on Tuesday during a brief stop to Trinidad.
Pandohie, who is also he is the CEO of the Seprod Group of Companies, also made a trip to the Queen’s Park Savannah, Port of Spain to interact with a few of the Trinidad and Tobago athletes selected for the Carifta Games, which will take place in Jamaica from April 16-18.
“I’m the patron for the Games and one of my primary roles is to be a spokesperson for the Games,” said Pandohie, during an interview at the Hyatt. “We see the Games as being critical for the region.
“This is the first major, multi-country event in the region since the pandemic. I believe the Games would signal the reopening of the Caribbean. We’re showing the world that we’re reopening for business, we’re reopening for sports. I’m going around trying to encourage countries and the private sector to get involved, in supporting the athletes as they show that the Caribbean is open again.”
