Plan ahead to attend the 2010 AGM!
ON-LINE REGISTRATION now active (see below). In 2010, we are making many changes to the AGM in an attempt to make it back into the "Event" it was in years past. With that said, to make the training and information sessions a success, we need League and Club participation. Essentially, we need you! Here are the basics to start with.
In order to accommodate the 2010 US Youth Soccer Far West Regional Championships in New Mexico this year, the AGM has been moved to July 10. In an effort to minimize costs to the attendees, we are making it a one day event on Saturday only.
Instructional/workshop sessions begin at 10 am and end at 4:30 pm. We will have breakout sessions available for your President, Vice-President/Risk Manager, Registrar, Director of Coaching, and Head Referee. See the workshop agenda for more information. There are breakout sessions that include:
Presidents: Presidents Meeting, roundtable to discuss the current economic climate and how leagues and clubs are coping, risk management in the digital age, and possibly a Q&A sesson with outgoing NMYSA President Dennis LaDriere.
Vice-Presidents: Risk management (both overall and in the digital age), roundtable to discuss the current economic climate and how leagues and clubs are coping, and possibly a Q&A sesson with NMYSA risk management chair Mark Paffett.
Registrar: New registrar training, continuing education, scheduling software, and tips and tricks.
Director of Coaching: Introduction of the new Coaching Manual Template, U-04s: what do we do with them?, How to be a DOC, and possibly a Q&A session with members of the coaching department.
Head Referee: Assigner course, mentoring and retention, how to conduct a Game of the Week training.
Plenary: Gary Bauerschmidt will also make a "Caution: Children @ Play" presentation and Rick Smith will discuss the TOPSoccer program.
We have greatly reduced the cost of the event. Registration per person (with the exception of the league president) is $25.00 before June 1, and $40.00 thereafter. League presidents are free. Additionally, we are taking registrations online for this event (REGISTER HERE).
We are also offering the opportunity for Leagues and Clubs to advertise their tournaments in the AGM report book. The cost is $35.00 1/4-page, $65.00 1/2-page, $100 full-page. Please contact Frank Sanchez, DC Rep, to arrange for your ads.
The AGM committee is looking for interested parties who would be willing to present or facilitate a session at this event. If you are interested or know someone who would be, please get in touch with Frank Sanchez, DC Rep (505.280.5282).
The statewide annual business meeting (agenda to follow) will be conducted on beginning at 5:30pm, which includes election of officers, 2010-11 budget approval, consideration of proposed rules changes, and other business.
Each member League is allocated a specific number of votes in proportion to their player registration totals for the annual business meeting. To be in good standing, each League also must submit their annual affiliation form and $40 fee by June 1 of each year.
