SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, October 11, 2005.- Even thought the Puerto Rican Volleyball Federation is supporting one-hundred percent Mr. Cristobal Marte Hoffiz as President of the North, Central American and Caribbean Volleyball Confederation, it does not rule out the possibility of Carlos J. Beltran for the Vice Presidency.

Beltran will be one of the federations’ leaders and directors of Norceca who will be attending the XVIII Norceca Congress to be held on October 21-23 in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. 

Elections of new authorities of Norceca for the period 2005-2009 will take place during the Congress. 

Beltran is one of the candidates presented by the FPV for several positions in Norceca. 

“What we want is Puerto Rico to be represented in all the groups,” said the President of the FPV. 

“And what about the Presidency?” he was questioned. “I don’t think so. Cristobal Marte must remain there, but I don’t know if they have any plan with me for the vice presidency. If that is the case, I would be willing to,” he said. 

“I am always willing to help the National Teams, as long as it does not affect my work in the FPV, because my first mission is the national tournaments and the national teams,” said the lawyer and professor. “I will be always in the position to collaborate, to help volleyball.” 

Beltran will do the trip to Dominican Republic on October 20 along with Mr. Ramon Luis Carrasquillo, Executive Director of the FPV. 

Mexican Dr. Ruben Acosta Hernandez, President of the Federation Internazionale de Volleball, will attend the Congress.
