​"Having visited all the Confederation Congresses gave me an excellent opportunity to talk to all the members and to listen to their wishes and needs so we can grow stronger as a family," he said. "All the members had the opportunity to speak and the overriding sentiment was the need to do something new. "Let’s change to a modern way. We must remain professional in everything we do."

"I was very pleased with all Continental Congresses. Each one of them was done with transparency and democracy. Everyone had the right to speak and the opportunity to ask questions, so we are running in the way of total transparency and democracy."

The Executive Committee members received an update on the 2015 budget by FIVB General Director Fabio Azevedo, as well as a report on the FIVB portfolio by advisor Ney Brito.
