Meeting Minutes

 

The meeting was called to order at 7:10 p.m.  

The minutes were not available. 

 

PRESIDENT’S REPORT- Attended the US Youth Soccer National Convention March 2nd and 3rd.  I want to thank the Association for the financial assistance.  I attended 7 of the eight sessions, one session was used to attend the vendor show, we participated in the awards dinner and were able to see a little of St. Louis.  I will have a more complete report next month.  I will also be e-mailing my written report in a few days.  The information and ability to meet so many people from so many states all trying to make the game better was energizing and wore me out.  Next year the convention is in Pittsburg.

 

AGM is April 4th.  Planned for the Filling Station.

Looking for the officers to submit annual reports in writing ahead of the meeting.  Written reports do help us move through the meeting faster and these are annual reports.  What do you do, what do you plan for next year and any recognition you wish to provide.
