International Association of Athletic Federations (IAAF) World Relays 2015 volunteers gathered recently for their first orientation and training in the build-up to the international event.
The sessions held at the Thomas A. Robinson National Stadium on Saturday were attended by some 144 volunteers from across New Providence.
IAAF World Relays Bahamas 2015 Local Organising Committee (LOC) Director of Volunteers Tarahan Mackey spoke of the importance of the training.
“Today marks a significant milestone in our preparation for the upcoming event,” Mackey said. “The event simply cannot happen without them.
“I am positive that the re-engagement training today would reignite the spirit of volunteerism and teamwork within us, needed to revolutionise the work we commit to for ensuring an even more “#Bahamazing’ event.”
Last year, some 1,300 plus individuals throughout the country applied to volunteer during the inaugural event.
From that initial inflow, some 900 plus were selected.
