Roseau, Commonwealth of Dominica – The Dominica Athletics Association is pleased to
announce an official change of its name to Dominica Athletics Association Inc., effective immediately. This change forms part of the Association’s ongoing strategic planning process and its commitment to strengthening the governance, sustainability, and formality of the organization.
The name change reflects the Association’s efforts to modernize its structure and align more closely with international best practices, particularly those established by World Athletics, the global governing body for the sport of athletics.
President of the Association, Mr. Brendan Williams, noted that the adjustment represents more than a simple name change. It signals the organization’s intention to broaden its reach and ensure that it effectively represents and supports all athletes across Dominica.
“While the organization has historically focused on amateur athletics, the new name better reflects our mandate to serve all athletes under our purview, to include emerging, elite, and professional competitors. It also reinforces our commitment to developing athletics at every level throughout Dominica.”
The transition to the Dominica Athletics Association Inc. is part of a broader strategic initiative designed to strengthen administrative systems, improve long-term sustainability, and enhance the Association’s capacity to deliver programs that benefit athletes, coaches, and clubs nationwide.
The Association assures stakeholders that its mission remains unchanged: to promote, develop, and govern athletics in Dominica while providing opportunities for athletes to achieve excellence locally, regionally, and internationally.
Members, clubs, partners, and the public are encouraged to begin using the new name in all official correspondence and references to the organization.
