National Advisory Board Announcement
Greetings!
The USASF National Advisory Board elections are now complete with 3,952 total votes cast. The NAB is the elected body within the USASF that sets the agenda for the organization. Many important initiatives have originated from the NAB and it is one of the most respected groups in the all star community. The seats are highly sought after and the elections are very competitive.
Brad Habermel said “I am proud to be able to serve the USASF and the all star community as a new NAB member”.
Nominations All current coach, event producer, and affiliate USASF members may nominate prospective NAB members. Coaches can nominate coaches. Event producers can nominate event producers. Everyone can nominate affiliate members. The coaches’ category includes coaches, gym owners, and choreographers. Affiliates are all members who are not either coaches or event producers including, for example, magazine publishers and equipment suppliers.
A prerequisite for any USASF member accepting the nomination for the NAB is they must fully participate, including personally attending both meetings.
All nominations must be sent to [email protected] by the schedule below. Please include your membership information as well as the name and contact information of the individual you are nominating, including the person’s full name, gym/event producer name, address, phone, and e-mail address.
Elections As with nominations, current USASF member: coaches vote for coaches, event producers for event producers, and everyone for affiliates
Term The term of office for NAB members is 2 years. Half of the NAB members are elected each year resulting in overlapping terms to promote continuity.
Meeting Schedule The first 2010 meeting will be April 6 in Dallas. The USASF will continue to reimburse the lodging expense for coaches. Since food is included in the meeting, all coaches need to pay is travel.
The second 2010 meeting is August 19 in Dallas. Of course, this date can be changed by the NAB at the April meeting if needed.
