It is time for our comrades located abroad to understand that are very important stakeholders in our pan fraternity and not just sit back and think that they are to be spectators . Owing to my involvement in football I know the importance of networking with Trinidadians coaching and playing abroad this widens the net where ideas and expertise increases 10 fold.
I will propose to my brother Aquil Arrindell should he assume office to set a foreign office where we can have synergy and hear the very valuable views from our brothers and sisters abroad. Because they more than many of us understand what it means to have a unique instrument, music, food , culture etc all of which most of us living in Trinidad and Tobago take for granted.

No need to set up an office for that, just ah change of attitude toward those who reside outside T&T will enable y'all to benefit from they have to offer.
Cecil: DOH RAIN ON YUH OWN PARADE!!! Travis Mulraine have ah good idea and I nominating you to RUN THAT OFFICE from CANADA -- nobody love THE PAN CULTURE more than you. Your first assignment is to build a network with about 50,000 PAN LOVING EXPATS around THE GLOBE.Then we go back to the table and start strategizing with TRAVIS and his team.
