For the first time in the history of Panathlon International, the Extraordinary General Meeting was held online. The event took place on Saturday 14th December at 3 p.m. (CET), with the participation of as many as 196 panathletes, gathered to discuss the main item on the agenda: the increase of the membership fees to PI for the next biennium. President Giorgio Chinellato started the proceedings by appointing the Vice-President, Secretary and scrutineers, and explained the reasons that prompted the International Board to propose the increase.

The main reasons included: the need to support PI's international activities, including expansion and new projects; the absence of fee increases for more than 20 years, the opportunity to realign the fee to the effects of inflation and to compensate for the loss of revenue due to the decrease in membership. The President noted the Assembly's decision and stated that the work of the PI would be reorganised considering this choice. He then addressed special thanks to all those who had collaborated with their hard work in the previous months and to the participants for their presence.

In conclusion, the President wished Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, and declared the Meeting closed at 17:15.

The International Committee Fair Play established as the deadline the 15 February 2025, to stand as a candidate for World Awards 2024.

Clubs are invited to send their nominations to the Secretariat not later than 31 January 2025

Il giornalista Iacopo Volpi ospite del Panathlon Valdarno Superiore per il prestigioso Premio "Niccolò Carosio". Alla karateka Emma Monnetti il 'Premio Panathlon 2024' e al Panathlon Valdarno il titolo di "Club P.I. dell'Anno".

16/12/2024 – Il noto giornalista Iacopo Volpi ospite d'onore della Conviviale degli auguri del Panathlon Club Valdarno Superiore, per la cerimonia di consegna del prestigioso Premio giornalistico 'Niccolò Carosio', con il patrocinio dell'Ordine Nazionale dei Giornalisti, ed assegnato ogni due anni dal Club service della Presidente Manuela Bagnolesi. Nell'albo d'oro del Premio, nato nel 1988, figurano i migliori giornalisti italiani: da Candido Cannavò e Italo Cucci a Bruno Pizzul, da Sandro Ciotti e Fabrizio Maffei, da Riccardo Maria Cucchi a Marino Bartoletti che ha ricevuto il premio nel 2022. 

Volpi, attuale Direttore di 'Rai Sport', è una colonna portante del giornalismo in casa Rai, dove lavora da ben 45 anni. E' il telecronista che ha fatto scoprire con la sua passione ancora intatta il grande volley agli italiani con le partite delle Nazionali vincenti a cavallo degli anni Ottanta e Novanta e conduttore di varie edizioni di '90° minuto' e de 'La Domenica Sportiva', nonché inventore dei magazine 'Notti Europee', 'Notti Mondiali' e 'Notti Olimpiche'. Il giornalista ha tracciato un bel ritratto del grande allenatore Julio Velasco, suo amico personale, ed ha parlato dell'epoca d'oro del volley italiano maschile e femminile e che oggi è nuovamente tornata: suo è il termine poi diventato proverbiale 'Generazione di Fenomeni'.   

Durante la serata, è stato assegnato anche l'annuale Premio Panathlon, dedicato al miglior risultato sportivo valdarnese dell'ultima annata sportiva e scelto dai soci del Club. Quest'anno il riconoscimento è andato alla giovane karateka Emma Monnetti, appena 22enne, ma che pratica questo sport da quando aveva 4 anni, sotto la guida del padre e Maestro Matteo Monnetti. Per Emma, dopo innumerevoli trofei, quest'anno i titoli di Campionessa Mondiale nella categoria +60kg e Campionessa Mondiale a squadre miste. 

Infine, il noto Premio giornalistico valdarnese intitolato a Romano Alfieri, è stato assegnato a Francesco Pianigiani, noto giornalista e radiocronista locale, in forza attualmente alla redazione sportiva di Radio Emme e Addetto stampa da anni della Società Terranuova Traiana. 

Presenti alla Conviviale degli auguri anche il Presidente dell'Ordine dei Giornalisti del Lazio Guido d'Ubaldo, la giornalista senese Giovanna Romano e il Governatore Panathlon International Area 6 Toscana Andrea Da Roit, che ha annunciato l'assegnazione al Panathlon Club Valdarno Superiore del Premio 'Club dell'Anno' per l'attività svolta.

Last 11th December Panathlon International, the Secretary General Callo Simona together with Rossi Monica Administrative Secretary, participated in the fourth and last webinar organised by the IOC for 2024 dedicated to ‘Good Governance’. On this occasion the focus was ‘Development & Solidarity’.

In addition to the PI there were 40 other participants representing Sports Federations and Associations. The suggestion that arose after the meeting is to create a Good Governance programme for the coming four-year period 2025/2028. 

Here are the main points discussed, which are also well specified in the IOC Code of Ethics:

Distribution of resources

Financial resources generated by sport must be reinvested in sport, with a focus on the development of sport and the direct or indirect support of athletes. Financial revenues must be allocated fairly and efficiently to ensure balanced and attractive competitions, must be dedicated to promoting fair, inclusive and diverse sport, with a focus on gender equality. Financial resources must be used through clear and transparent processes aligned with the development objectives of sport and the principle of solidarity must be a key element in their allocation.

To ensure responsible management of funds, specific mechanisms must be put in place to monitor and evaluate the use of resources by beneficiaries. 

For all these reasons, the IOC will monitor the use of donated funds at 3 well-defined levels.

Environmental and Social Responsibility

All sports organisations will have to commit to minimising negative impacts and maximising positive ones by taking responsibility through the organisation of events, promoting gender equality, inclusion and diversity; respecting and promoting human rights; and pursuing environmental excellence.

Collaboration between Sports Organisations and Government Authorities

Sports organisations and government authorities must collaborate and coordinate their actions, respecting each other's jurisdictions and responsibilities, and avoiding undue interference. This collaboration must foster the development of sport at all levels; support and protect athletes, counteracting doping, all forms of manipulation, corruption in sport, as well as harassment, abuse and violence; use sport as a tool to protect young people from crime.

Sports development programmes must be designed to contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and in particular promote the creation of partnerships between sports organisations, and work towards the expansion and maintenance of sports facilities in countries in need.

Autonomy of the Olympic Movement

During the meeting it was reiterated that all sports organisations must maintain their autonomy and political neutrality in operations and governance. It is essential to reject any form of political, religious or economic pressure that could hinder compliance with the Olympic Charter.

Finally, sports organisations should seek sources of funding that are compatible with the Fundamental Principles of Olympism, promoting diversification of revenues to ensure the sustainability and independence of their activities.

In short, ‘good governance’ is an opportunity to consolidate credibility. We all have a role to play towards our organisation and our members.

During the webinar, William Glenwright, Head of Global Development for the International Cricket Council, Julie Marks (Sustainability Working Group) and Saurav Ghosal (Co-Chair, Athletes' Commission) for the World Squash Federation spoke, bringing their experience in implementing Good Governance milestones. 

The meeting ended with the promise of new webinars during 2025.
