In an exclusive interview with Nature Isle News (NIN), Doctrove stated “It is indeed an honor and privilege to be allowed to lead this organization.”
“I accept the appointment with a great deal of humility and I am confident that with this team we can make a difference to the sporting landscape in Dominica,” he said.
According to him, the Sports Council has been a long time in coming, and recognizing it’s a brand-new initiative, they will be initially sailing on “uncharted waters”, but this allows them to promote some exciting and innovative ideas and plans.
“The Council will be functioning basically as an advisory body to the Ministry of Sport, so we are looking forward to developing a strong and working relationship with the Ministry,” Doctrove remarked.
