ORANJESTAD \u2014 Het Comit\u00e9 Ol\u00edmpico Arubano (COA) heeft tijdens de algemene vergadering van afgelopen zaterdag afscheid genomen van Edmundo Josiah. Naast de behandeling van diverse belangrijke agendapunten stond de bijeenkomst ook in het teken van erkenning voor zijn langdurige inzet voor de Arubaanse sport.<\/p>\n

Volgens het COA was Josiah gedurende ruim 27 jaar een drijvende kracht achter het beleid van de organisatie, de ontwikkeling van talrijke projecten en de begeleiding van delegaties die Aruba in het buitenland vertegenwoordigden. In die periode maakte hij meerdere generaties sporters van dichtbij mee, vanaf hun eerste stappen tot aan deelname op internationaal niveau.<\/p>\n

Het COA benadrukte dat Josiah niet alleen in succesvolle momenten aanwezig was, zoals bij medailles en records, maar ook in moeilijke fasen een belangrijke rol speelde. Hij stond atleten bij met begeleiding, advies en ondersteuning, zodat zij zich verder konden ontwikkelen en presteren.<\/p>\n

Ook werd stilgestaan bij de overgang binnen de organisatie. In de afgelopen vier jaar werkte Josiah nauw samen met Monica Fajardo om de overdracht van taken zorgvuldig voor te bereiden. Volgens het COA heeft zij de verantwoordelijkheid inmiddels op zich genomen op basis van het stevige fundament dat in de voorbije jaren is gelegd.<\/p>\n

Namens het comit\u00e9 sprak het COA zijn waardering uit voor Josiah\u2019s inzet, visie en loyaliteit aan de Arubaanse sport. De organisatie wenste hem veel succes en geluk toe in de volgende fase van zijn leven.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
