Rosen calls for unity in korfball and avoids conversations about presidential candidacy
Netball administrator Karen Rosen says she will decide in the coming weeks whether to run for the position of president of Netball Jamaica (NJ) at the annual general meeting (AGM) on December 14.
The last NJ General Meeting took place in 2021.
All positions in NJ, including the presidency and board positions, are up for re-election this year. Incumbent President Tricia Robinson is serving her second term. Robinson has been at the helm of NJ since February 2020 when she succeeded Paula Daley-Morris, who led for four years.
Rosen, who has been NJ director responsible for marketing and sponsorship since 2021, is considered by many in the netball association as the likely candidate to lead the association.
However, she says she will make a decision on her future with the organization in the coming weeks.
Rosen says netball needs all the support it can get to ensure growth.
“The whole netball community needs to come together and that’s all I want to say at this point,” Rosen said.
Netball Jamaica First Vice President Simone Forbes told the Jamaican observer last week that she has yet to decide whether to run for president.
“I still have some time,” she said. “There are several things I need to think about to see if I can commit to what being on this board entails.”
