201 8 EOC Head Office | Villino Giulio Onesti | Via della Pallacanestro, 19 00135 Rome, Italy | Tel. +39 06 36857828 | Instagram | Twitter | [email protected] www.eurolympic.org OCTOBER N.186 MESSAGE FROM EOC PRESIDENT JANEZ KOCIJANČIČ Dear colleagues, It is with a heavy heart that I start this newsletter looking back at what was an otherwise excellent Buenos Aires 2018 Youth Olympic Games from 6-18 October. On the one hand, your young athletes once again did our continent proud, winning the lion’s share of the medals and sending a clear message that Europe’s future on the Olympic stage is in good hands. But on the other, the untimely passing of our dear friend and colleague Patrick Baumann was a terrible shock and the hole it has left in the Olympic Movement will be a difficult one to fill. On behalf of all of us at the EOC, and the Olympic Movement throughout Europe, I offer my sincere condolences to everyone affected, in particular his wife and children. He will be profoundly missed. It is difficult to transition into a more lighthearted topic after that, but I am sure Patrick would have wanted us all to continue promoting sport and the Olympic values with the same amount of passion or possibly even more now that he is gone. So with that, I would like to congratulate all the ENOCs and their athletes for their hard work, dedication and success in Argentina. In the end, the Russian Federation topped the standings with 59 medals, led by swimmers Kliment Kolesnikov and Andrei Minakov, who each won six golds and one silver. -

Strategic Plan COPABE 2020
Strategic Plan COPABE 2020 - 2025 About this document The Pan American Baseball Confederation, is the fundamental pillar for the development of baseball in AMERICA, it must provide all the support and benefits for the growth of the national federations in the continent. The purpose of this document is to present in an orderly manner, a solution to the problems that, over time, have made COPABE an organization with organizational difficulties and lack of growth as the maximum entity of continental sport. Identifying the current critical factors has led us to develop a document that is presented as a Strategic Plan for the period 2020 -2025. To develop it, as a first step, we worked on the construction of a new mission, vision and values. A new starting point. This was possible after a deep and detailed analysis, also adding the points of view of different stakeholders, both inside and outside, to begin with the construction of a new structure. As a result, a broad and complete identification of objectives and solutions was achieved that help shape the common and coherent strategic objectives for the construction of this Strategic Plan and action plans. Behind each strategic objective are priorities that highlight particular areas of focus and activity, each employing its own goals and action plans to shape the global Strategic Plan. COPABE publishes a four-year Strategic Plan to transform, manage, develop and build a better organization with a unified structure, with a voice and government, for all national federations in all their categories and modalities. Executive committee The Objectives and action plans are detailed in diagrams that will facilitate reading and understanding.
