The Committee Members are Dillion Roberts, Amanda Angoy, Parbattie Winter, Troy Jeffers.

Representing the Guyana Football Federation and overseeing the entire process was Mr. Lyndon France.

The Audited Financial Statement along with reports from the immediate past President Franklin Wilson and Secretary Francois were presented to the members. Wilson thanked the executive and clubs for allowing him to lead the association for the past four plus years after serving as Secretary prior to taking up the top post.

He encouraged the new executive and clubs to continue working as a team to further advance the growth of the body but most importantly, the players. Gratitude was also expressed to President Wayne Forde and the Guyana Football Federation for its unflinching support towards the advancement of the game in the EBFA.

Wilson promised to continue supporting the EBFA and once called upon would be there to assist in the continued development of the EBFA.
