Even while many of us are still enjoying some late season snow, it is time to look ahead to the 2013-2014 race season.
The general session of NYSSRA-Nordic’s Spring Meeting will be a teleconference (audio call-in beginning at 12:30 p.m.) on Sunday, April 7. The “electronic” meeting format saves travel, time, and gasoline. You are invited to join the officers, club representatives, and committee chairs at this meeting. See agenda copied below.
Competition committees should meet before April 7 to draft race schedules for next season, discuss policy/rules, plan summer events and camps, etc. Please send your committee report by April 5th to dakvam06@gmail.com so it can be combined into a pdf and emailed to all teleconference participants to reference. If appropriate, committees should name a 2013 NYSSRA Team for their discipline. They will report on racer camps and National Governing Body activities that will affect the summer season so that they can be added to the NYSSRA calendar.
To participate in the April 7 audio call-in meeting, please email past president Darwin Roosa at roosmean@verizon.net by Wed., April 3. You will receive a confirming email with a dial-in telephone number with passcode to use and directions.
If you are not able to participate in the meeting, your comments can be sent by: 1) email to your club representative (see club list), or 2) email to your sport committee chair or David Paarlberg-Kvam dakvam06@gmail.com, or 3) the “leave a comment” at the bottom of the agenda below.
Thank you,
David Paarberg-Kvam, NYSSRA President
