MALTA OLYMPIC COMMITTEE - ELECTIONS

24/09/2013

We are pleased to announce that Mr William Beck, President of the Malta Golf Association, has been elected as a Director on the Executive Committee of the Malta Olympic Committee.

The elections were held yesterday evening during an Extraordinary General Meeting called specifically for this purpose. Five other persons were nominated by their respective associations/federations to contest this post. Mr Beck managed to obtain just over 48% of the votes cast and was elected at the first count.

Golf has been part of the MOC family for some years now. In fact it was possible for the sport to be present in the Mediterranean Games already in 2001. However the sport only became a full member of the MOC in 2007 with the founding of the Malta Golf Association through a process that saw the adoption of a proper working constitution and elections.

With his new responsibility, Mr Beck has pledged to work for the betterment of all sports affiliated to the Malta Olympic Committee.
