The Vanuatu Association of Sports And National Olympic Committee (VASANOC) attended a good governance workshop in the Pacific nation.

Three-days of meetings and discussions were held, with the event run by the Vanuatu Aquatics Federation and Vanuatu Women In Sports.

It was under the theme "Leading and Managing People".

A number of sports in Vanuatu were represented, while funding came from the Australian High Commission as part of a Pacific sports partnership.

"The workshop looked at aspects of being a manager in a sporting organisation and the different ways to approach people for the good of the organisation alongside a great deal of interpersonal skills," VASANOC said.
