ITTF Pan American Women's Forum

Enthusiastic, untiring, thirst for knowledge and information – these are words that could characterise the ITTF Pan American women’s forum that was held in Buenos Aires, Argentina on 26th and 27th September 2008.

Two days were insufficient, two weeks would not have been sufficient to cater to the demand for information, interaction, discussion and exchange of ideas that the participants craved for.

Around 70 participants from several Latin American countries (Argentina, Peru, El Salvador, Uruguay, Brazil, Cuba Paraguay, Chile, Venezuela, Colombia) and Canada for North America were present, including the Continental Vice-Presidents for Latin America (Melecio Rivera) and North America (Bruce Burton).

There were also women from other sport federations in Argentina. The meeting was facilitated by Alejandra Gabaglio, Development Director of the Americas Para Table Tennis Committee and ITTF coach and Lilamani de Soysa, ITTF Project Manager.
