“On Monday, March 13 the two will be part of the Caribbean Basketball Confederation (CBC) Assembly, while on the following day, the duo will be delegates at the Central American and Caribbean Basketball Confederation (CONCENCABA) Assembly. Both the CBC and CONCENCABA will hold elections to decide on a new executive committee to govern the game of basketball in their respective regions. While one of Toney’s purposes at the Assembly will be as a voting delegate for the two-day event, Arjune will attend the FIBA Plus Work Shop.

“Arjune will join other Technical Directors from National Federations affiliated with FIBA at the programme designed to assist National Federations’ development of basketball in their countries by helping them develop a sustainable strategic focus. The FIBA PLUS Strategy and Planning programme is one of the initiatives undertaken by FIBA as part of its 2019-2023 strategy to “Empower National Federations” to reach their full potential,” the release stated.
