NEMWA Meeting Agenda for November 7 at the Sanford Lake Bar and Grille:

Agenda last updated:  02/18/2010

This agenda includes items that are very important to the continued success of NEMWA.  Please prepare for the meeting in advance by doing the following items prior to the meeting:

• Read the AAU affiliation information that has been posted on the NEMWA web site.  Ask questions about items you don't understand prior to the meeting.  More discussion on the proposal can be found in the NEMWA forums. 
• Because of the complexity and importance of the proposals being discussed at this meeting, the basics of Parliamentary Procedure (Robert's Rules) will be enforced.  No side conversations will be allowed and speakers must be recognized by the meeting chair before speaking. 
• Bring your club dues for the 2004-2005 if you have not paid them already.  In order to be a member in good standing and vote on NEMWA business, dues must be paid.  Dues for returning clubs are $100.  New clubs are $200.
• If your club is hosting a tournament, please bring the contact information for your tournament director (e-mail and phone number).

2:00 - 2:30  Review of 2005 tournament calendar.  Fill open dates, confirm tentative dates and update division pairings if needed.  Collect tournament director names and contact information.  As of 02/18/2010 open dates included January 15 (C&D), January 22 (A&C), and March 6 (NEMWA qualifier for NEMWA-MYWAY states).  While we have two possible Sunday tournaments the weekend of February 12-13, there are no Saturday tournaments scheduled that weekend.  According to NEMWA rules, clubs hosting Saturday tournaments have preference over those hosting Sunday tournaments. 

 

2:30 - 2:45  Treasurer's report, including summary of clubs who have not paid 2004-2005 dues.

 

2:45 - 3:30  Review and discuss AAU affiliation proposal and related alternate proposals to provide NEMWA with comprehensive liability, accident medical, and directors & officers insurance coverage.  This time will be used to craft the official proposal that will be brought to vote.  We will start with either the AAU affiliation proposal or the alternate proposal described in the AAU affiliation information document and modify it as necessary into a proposal that can be brought to a vote.  Cindy Trombly, Governor of the Michigan AAU district (the largest in AAU) will be at the meeting beginning at 3 p.m. to answer questions on AAU affiliation.  Cindy has been involved in AAU wrestling since 1981 and has three sons who wrestled.
