This appointment once again recognizes Young\u2019s outstanding career, leadership, and commitment within the international Olympic Movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cWe are honored by this designation, which will allow us to be part of the planning and supervision of one of the most significant sporting events in the Olympic Movement,\u201d said Damaris Young after receiving the news.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Commitment and Leadership<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A lawyer, manager, and advocate for sports governance, Young has dedicated her career to strengthening institutional transparency, inclusion, and women\u2019s leadership in sports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2024, Damaris Young made history in Panamanian Olympism by being elected as a member of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), becoming the first woman from Panama to achieve this honor. Her active participation within the organization extends to the IOC\u2019s Legal Affairs and Athlete Environment Commissions \u2014 responsibilities that reflect her dedication to developing policies that promote integrity, protection, and athlete welfare at a global level, values that also guide her work within the Executive Committee of Centro Caribe Sports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cEquality, transparency, and inclusion are the values that guide each of my sports programs,\u201d she stated in 2024 upon becoming a member of the International Olympic Committee.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

A Woman Who Inspires the Region<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Her appointment is also a symbol of the progress women are making in decision-making positions within global sports. With each step, Damaris Young represents the collective effort of Caribbean and Central American women working to build a better world through sports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
