According to the GABF General Secretary, Patrick Haynes, “The Guyana Basketball Federation 2023 Elective Congress will more likely be at the end of this month or early February. The date will be confirmed pending our audited financial statements for the period 2020 through 2022.”

The GABF boss, ran unopposed, and had Kenrick Thomas, Lawrence Simon and Alex Graham as vice-presidents, Haynes as General secretary, Gavin Singh the treasurer, assistant secretary/treasurer Joseph Chapman, and technical coordinator Andrew Hercules.

The members affiliated to GABF include: Bartica, Berbice, Georgetown, Linden, Guyana Basketball Officials Council, Women’s Basketball Association, Georgetown Masters and GT Pioneers, elected all the positions unchallenged at the smoothly-executed elections.

Haynes added, “The 2023 elective Congress will include a comprehensive agenda, including the presentation of reports for the period 2020 through 2022. Both the CBC and CONCENCABA Elective Assemblies are scheduled for February 13^th and the 14^th, respectively, in Miami, Florida, USC, along with the FIBA plus planning and strategic workshop for national federations for the 2023 – 2027 tournament.”
