As an example, the Surinam Draught Federation is probably one of the oldest draught organaizatios in the Americas and have been holding championcships since the 1950's.

This organization (Surinam Draught Federation), though from a small country, should have been one of the best in the region. Still, we see that they are having problems with sending their champion to the games because of internal struggles and mismanagment by the board.
At this moment both the Vice President and the general secretary quit. Earlier other members quit. So, basically the chairman Mr. Narian is the only standing member of the board. Yes, the same person who is vice president of the Panam federation !?

Can any one tell me which PADCF member is organizing Junior gams ? 2 or 3 memebers...How will we grow this organization without getting the youth to play??

How to solve these problems....and get to a strong PADCF ??

ANY IDEAS
