2011 PSCFA Coaches Conference proposals
2011 PSCFA Coaches Conference minutes
Colleagues,
I sincerely hope that your summers have been spectacular.
A few items of business (I apologize in advance for the length):
1) The invite to the 2011 Coaches Conference is attached.
2) The last date to register for the hotel is 10 days earlier than last year, and we normally cut things pretty close. The deadline is August 10th, which is next week. Remember, you don’t have to submit any payment or figure out how your school may or may not reimburse you to reserve a room. As soon as you can, call 1-866-423-1195 and mention “PSCFA”.
3) In case any of you were worried about a coach at a Baptist University lowering the reputation of the Saturday night’s coach reception, Jim Wyman has graciously volunteered to host this year. I will be in attendance, and look forward to catching up with everyone in a fun atmosphere.
4) A few thoughts on proposals. Here’s what I’ve noticed happening. People will send me ideas for proposals (as they should), fail to flesh out the idea or form a committee in advance of the conference or not attend the conference at all, and then complain about their proposals not being passed. If you have an idea for a rule/practice change for PSCFA, the time to submit them is now. I will assign committee members, and we will have a fleshed out and researched proposal ready for the conference. Remember, the business meeting on Sunday the 11th is the only time in the entire year where we can make permanent changes to the organization. Fall Champs is too late.
5) The contents/facilitators of the conference are based entiredly on your comments, and volunteers. If you’d like something else at the conference, let me know, or talk to Heidi Ochoa (your current VP) about next year’s conference.
6) Let me know if I can help facilitate golf/card games/meals anything else before or during the conference.
7) As a point of emphasis in my year running the Sunday business meeting, I will be strongly discouraging new business proposals or prolonged discussion during our final business meeting. All proposals will be e-mailed out ASAP throughout the weeks leading up to the conference, and during the conference as new proposals are fashioned. Keep your access to e-mail handy. Let me know in advance of any proxy voting, or provide written permission. The Sunday meeting will be primarily for clarification, and for up/down votes. We will we get out in plenty of time for lunch.
Thank you for your time and attention,
Mike Marse
