One club only has so many votes. With existing alliances and loyalties it would take a while before voting is swayed away from the incumbents from a performance standpoint.
The most amenable way to go medium term is by convincing the private sector to invest (whether for community relations, public relations, or tax break purposes).
Here's an example today:
Scotiabank, T&TOC in $600,000 four year pact

That is the Olympic peeps...not jes track and field.
And I said one club can make all the difference in the world if it is as Controversial stated. The athletes from that club will dominate etc. Others will have to turn professional or go away...and eventually things will happen...certainly not a quick fix.
trinity, is there existing laws that prevent a private club from having the freedom to develop and train athletes in TT?
Half of brown's troubles came with those who advise him! Take that to the bank!
would starting a T&F club that is well funded, sponsored & organized make a difference?
just asking a question as it seems the national association seems stuck in the past
Yes. That is part of Jamaica's success.
Nope. A club will have to be registered within the NAAAs and abide by their imposed rules. I think you have to do something different to a club and position the entity to provide services needed by the NAAA and its clubs. Make them your customer, not your overlord
what are the imposed rules of the NAAA that in your opinion will prevent a private club from developing and investing in athletes locally?
