Deputy chair­per­son of the FI­FA-ap­point­ed Nor­mal­i­sa­tion Com­mit­tee, Judy Daniel, has died. She was 63 years old.

The late at­tor­ney with ex­ten­sive ex­pe­ri­ence in en­vi­ron­men­tal law and man­age­ment was part of a three-mem­ber nor­mal­i­sa­tion com­mit­tee, head­ed by chair­man Robert Hadad, ap­point­ed to take over the gov­er­nance of T&T foot­ball on March 27, 2020.

On Thurs­day, the T&T Foot­ball As­so­ci­a­tion (TTFA) nor­mal­i­sa­tion com­mit­tee, via a me­dia re­lease ex­tend­ed con­do­lences to the loved one of Daniel, who was said to be ail­ing for some time, her ill­ness was not re­vealed.

It said: "The TTFA is sad­dened by the pass­ing of Ms Judy Daniel, the deputy chair of the FI­FA-ap­point­ed Nor­mal­i­sa­tion Com­mit­tee.

"Judy died peace­ful­ly to­day in the US in the pres­ence of her rel­a­tives and fam­i­ly.

"The mem­bers of the TTFA and the Nor­mal­i­sa­tion Com­mit­tee ex­tend its deep­est con­do­lences to Judy’s fam­i­ly and friends and will re­mem­ber her as a tire­less and de­vot­ed friend, who al­ways self­less­ly gave her best in ser­vice of the As­so­ci­a­tion."

Daniel was an at­tor­ney-at-law of over 30 years, who had a broad prac­tice in civ­il law. She start­ed work­ing in the At­tor­ney Gen­er­al’s Cham­bers of T&T where she fo­cused on pro­vid­ing ad­vice and lit­i­ga­tion on con­sti­tu­tion­al law, con­tracts, dis­putes, tort, and li­a­bil­i­ty claims.

The late deputy chair worked as Le­gal Con­sul­tant to En­vi­ron­men­tal Ad­vi­sors Inc her own self-starter com­pa­ny in At­lanta, Geor­gia, USA, and was high­ly re­gard­ed as a key ad­vi­sor by se­nior man­agers as hav­ing a unique com­bi­na­tion of strong le­gal and tech­ni­cal skills in a broad range of ar­eas and the abil­i­ty to pro­duce work­able so­lu­tions.

Daniel, Hadad, and or­di­nary mem­ber Nigel Ro­mano re­placed the elect­ed TTFA board head­ed by pres­i­dent William Wal­lace fol­low­ing the de­ci­sion tak­en by the Bu­reau of the FI­FA Coun­cil. An­oth­er mem­ber Trevor Nicholas Gomez was added to the nor­mal­i­sa­tion com­mit­tee on March 26, 2021.

The com­mit­tee was not sup­posed to last more than two years, with a man­date that al­so in­clud­ed or­gan­is­ing fresh elec­tions of a new ad­min­is­tra­tion of the em­bat­tled foot­ball as­so­ci­a­tion but on De­cem­ber 24, FI­FA gave the four-mem­ber nor­mal­i­sa­tion com­mit­tee a one-year ex­ten­sion to ful­fill its man­date.
