Former Secretary General of the Guyana Olympic Association (GOA), Ivor O’Brien was recently awarded the prestigious Commonwealth Order of Merit for significant contribution to the Commonwealth Sport movement. O’Brien who received the award in Edmonton, Canada last month is the first Guyanese recipient of such an award.
“Indeed I am honored” O’Brien said on Wednesday to media operatives at a press briefing at the GOA’s headquarters in Kingston. “This certainly is one of the highlights of my career.
when you speak of the Commonwealth, you talk of 71 countries.”
