Letitia Mora...new WoLF president.

Leti­tia Mo­ra is the new pres­i­dent of the Women's Foot­ball League (WoLF) in T&T.

At Wednes­day's WoLF an­nu­al gen­er­al meet­ing (AGM) and Elec­tions at the Home of Foot­ball in Bal­main, Cou­va, Mo­ra led a clean sweep of the nine po­si­tions con­test­ed for her slate by beat­ing her op­po­nent Lyn­dell Hoyte-Sanchez for the po­si­tion of pres­i­dent 11-8.

Yes­ter­day, Mo­ra told the me­dia she be­lieves her suc­cess was due main­ly to the lev­el of ef­fi­cien­cy and com­pe­tence she ex­hib­it­ed as the WoLF gen­er­al sec­re­tary. Say­ing while she knew she went up against a very strong can­di­date in Hoyte-Sanchez, she not­ed that those who would have worked with her through­out the years would have had first-hand knowl­edge of her ca­pa­bil­i­ties, and what she can bring to the ta­ble.

"I am elat­ed to be elect­ed as the new pres­i­dent af­ter serv­ing as the gen­er­al sec­re­tary for some years now, and by ex­ten­sion, I am ex­cit­ed to work with my en­tire team as we have all been suc­cess­ful in each of our po­si­tions. So I am re­al­ly ex­cit­ed and hum­bled to see what's in store for T&T Women's foot­ball in the fu­ture," Mo­ra said af­ter her tri­umph.

"So my first as­sign­ment is to have a gen­er­al sec­re­tary ap­point­ed be­cause we know how im­por­tant a gen­er­al sec­re­tary is in this role, and we al­so as an ex­ec­u­tive plan to meet with the TTFA to work with them on the way for­ward for women's foot­ball on the whole."

Mo­ra's achieve­ments were mir­rored by her eight oth­er ex­ec­u­tive mem­bers, in­clud­ing Carel Pur­cy who held off Ju­lia Bap­tiste, a for­mer Chief Ex­ec­u­tive Of­fi­cer (CEO) of the then T&T Pro­fes­sion­al Foot­ball League 11-8 for the po­si­tion of vice pres­i­dent; Iken­na Joseph who pre­vailed over Anisa Dun­can 10-9 to be the trea­sur­er; Rox­anne Her­bert beat­ing Den­nis Noel 10-9 for the post of sec­re­tary ad­min; Brit­tney Williams clinch­ing the as­sis­tant sec­re­tary op­er­a­tions po­si­tion at the ex­pense of Joel War­rick 10-9; Lystra Lara de­feat­ing Adri­an Ro­main for the po­si­tion of as­sis­tant sec­re­tary com­pe­ti­tions 10-9; and Kamile De Gale pre­vailed over Mo­han Per­sad 10-9 for pub­lic re­la­tions of­fi­cer (PRO).

The Mo­ra's slate al­so sealed the two Or­di­nary Mem­bers' po­si­tions through Sta­cy Ann Au­gus­tus and Shan­ice Au­guste, both dis­pos­ing of Howard Spencer, a for­mer Sec­ondary Schools Foot­ball League (SS­FL) ex­ec­u­tive mem­ber (10-9) and Chris Bai­ley (11-9), re­spec­tive­ly.

Ac­cord­ing to Mo­ra: "I am a so­lu­tion-ori­ent­ed per­son so as an ex­ec­u­tive we plan to meet with the stake­hold­ers, bring them to the ta­ble ba­si­cal­ly-the Gov­ern­ment, cor­po­rate T&T, the teams, and the TTFA so that we can work out a so­lu­tion to­geth­er, and the way for­ward for women's foot­ball and the de­vel­op­ment of women's foot­ball in T&T."

The Mo­ra-led ex­ec­u­tive is bank­ing on an ag­gres­sive mar­ket­ing plan to take women's foot­ball on par with what they've been ex­posed to in­ter­na­tion­al­ly.
