Congress in March
The PAHF Congress and meetings are to be at Kingston (Jamaica) within the framework of the 1st. Women's Americas Cup in March 2001.
Congress which will be held on March 15, will include election of all
Officers and Board members. An Open Forum is to be held the same day.
- Competitions, Development, Medical and Umpiring Committees will meet on
March 1 while the Board will meet on March 14 and possibly again on 16th.
Taking advantage of the presence of the members of the planning group and
other Board members, the PAHF held a planning meeting in Paris on the day
following the FIH meetings. The plan for the years 1998-2001 was reviewed. The framework for the 2001-04 plan was developed and will be discussed more broadly at the meetings in Kingston.

Co-ordinator for the Year for the Youth, has agreed to take on the position of Development Chair on an interim basis.
