Meeting Minutes for SCBOWBO

December 5, 2007

Meeting Minutes: Tuesday, December 5, 2007:

In attendance:  Jack Palmer, Kevin Stride, Trent Harwood,
Duane Taylor, Leslie Tidball.

Topics:

  1. Meetings:

12/15/07 Joint meeting with SCBOA.  Brainstormed topics that we would like Joanne to talk speak on.  Also would like to have on floor training and interaction with Joanne.

The board began brainstorming and is asked to thing about topics we would like to cover and would challenge our officials for the SCBOWBO only meetings.

Board discussed how to properly handle officials that have missed three or more meetings and officials that are not properly certified.  Dan is to communicate with officials in danger of missing 3 or more meetings and/or not properly certified, and making them aware of what the consequences are.  The board brainstormed ways officials can make up meetings:

-          Taping Games on nights you do not work.

-          Go to other meetings (Boys side)

-          Evaluate games on nights you do not work.

-          Board Liaison will help the assigner on district level officials that have missed more than two meetings.  

Issue of uncertified officials:

3. Box of items from Jim – raffle it off.

                Raffle everything but the whistles and give them to the new apprentices.:                              

4.. Training videos:

                Kevin brought up that our video collection has not been updated in quite a long time, and received board approval to buy four new training DVDs for this season.  Kevin to coordinate with the boys association on what DVDs to buy (so we are not buying the same DVDs)

5. Camera locations:            

                Kevin brought up that the association has a video camera and would like to get our taping program started again.  Greg Currently has the location of the camera, and will coordinate with Kevin on how and when our taping will work.  Kevin to get the taping program started up again.

 

6. Arbiter Access:

Discussion about having the President and vice president having sub-assigner arbiter access for future years for the following reasons  :

1.        Assigner goes down someone president can step in and assign games

2.        Communicate with general public.

The board revisited its discussion on limiting the assigner/sub-assigner access, and the board feels with very privileged and confidential information being stored on the arbiter, communication purposes does not justify allowing future presidents and vice presidents having assigner/sub-assigner privileges.  Also one of our assigners or sub assigners will make a request to the arbiter to allow for a DL list with out being an assigner /sub-assigner.  Thus to summarize, the board decision was to use the current policy the board has in place, thus the following positions will have assigner/sub-assigner arbiter access: Assigner, Financial advisor, Technical Guru, Board Liaison.

7. Duane sent out the updates the constitution committee came has came up with, the board is to have the board feed back to Duane by our next general meeting (12/15) so we can submit to the general membership proposed changes on our first SCBOWBO only meeting.

Leslie will check into our Non-profit and see if our constitution fulfills the requirements of our by-laws and non-profit status.

 

7. Board began discussions for an end of the year party, and each board member will check into different places and prices.  Greg said he will offer support to the committee.

 

8. Scholarships.  The board will solicit general members at the first SCBOWBO only meeting for scholarship donations.  The goal is to be able to award two scholarships this year.
