On 13th and 14th December, TAFISA attended the 4th Americas Best Practices Symposium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. This event was jointly hosted by the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee, Olympic Solidarity and Panam Sports. Attendees included leading figures from all 41 National Olympic Committees across the Americas as well as Ministries and sporting bodies.

TAFISA’s delegation was comprised of Vice President for the Americas Catherine Forde and Business Development Manager Keri McDonald, who both led a session on “Effective Sport for All and Physical Activity Programmes” with guest speakers Francesco Foglino – Director - Apea Acción Por Una Educación Active (APEA), Erskine Simmons – Secretary General - Barbados Olympic Association and Richard Way – CEO - Sport for Life. TAFISA was inspired by the quality of presentations and is thankful to PANAM Sports for the opportunity to highlight effective programmes in Sport for All. TAFISA is very much looking forward to a fruitful co-operation with PANAM Sports and we strongly believe that this collaboration will strengthen the Sport for All Movement in the Americas and Globally.
