On Sunday March 28th 2010 representatives from member nations of the International Federation of Cheerleading (IFC) convened for this year‘s Annual General Meeting (AGM) in Hong Kong, in which Mr Setsuo Nakamura (Japan) was unanimously re-elected into his fourth term as IFC President.
Furthermore, the IFC welcomes the following new members to the Executive Board:
General Secretary: Danny Yen Ho Yin (Hong Kong)
Treasurer: Noralma Endara (Ecuador)
Legal Officer: Michel Daum (France)
All were elected unanimously and will join the following existing members on the IFC Executive Board:
President: Setsuo Nakamura (Japan)
Senior Vice President: Lyudmila Zueva (Russia)
Vice President: Robert Huber (Germany)
Director: Stephanie French (USA)
In addition, the well-attended meeting looked positively on what was an exciting year in the development of cheerleading, which culminated in the 5th IFC Cheerleading World Championships (CWC).
The Championships held in Bremen, Germany in November 2009 were a spectacular success for athletes, audiences and organisers alike. More athletes from more nations than ever before in a CWC competed in six different categories in front of a record breaking crowd.
The positive feedback from the Championships in Bremen left the AGM‘s attendees with a optimistic outlook on future developments in cheerleading and in confidence that the next Cheerleading World Championships, to be held in Hong Kong in 2011, will be equally successful.
Furthermore, the Pan-American Federation of Cheerleading (PFC) has seen an explosive growth in the sport of cheerleading, manifested in an influx of cheerleading competitions across the Americas and a number of new member nations joining the PFC and IFC. The fruits of this exciting development can be experienced by everyone during the Pan-American Cheerleading Championship this November in Lima, Peru.
On another note, previous to the IFC‘s Annual General Meeting, the Asian Federation of Cheerleading also convened in Hong Kong to hold a fruitful AGM.
