Plan ahead to attend the 2011 AGM!

The 2011 Annual General Meeting of the New Mexico Youth Soccer Association will be held at the Courtyard by Marriott, Journal Center, in Albuquerque on July 9.  Several documents will be e-mailed in the next few weeks (and posted below) regarding the agenda and program.  The preliminary agenda is below.  The proposed 2011-2012 budget is also below.

As in the recent past, the AGM is being streamlined to save costs for the members and for the Association.  It will be a one-day meeting designed for league presidents and league or club registrars.  During the day, we will have two education tracks -- one aimed at league/club registrars, and one designed for league presidents.  In addition, Josh will make a coaching education presentation for everyone, emphasizing the online youth module.  There will be a referee assignor clinic at the hotel at the same time.  See the AGM information sheet for details.

This will be a very “back-to-basics” education meeting with emphasis on making sure that all our members are up to speed on insurance, risk management, travel requirements, rule changes and member benefits.  With four new leagues, and with significant turnover in registrars and league presidents, we believe it is very important to talk through the basics of what the association does, what leagues do, and how it should be done.  We hope that every league will be able to send their registrar and their league president.  If you are new to administration, this will be a very instructive meeting.  If you are a veteran of youth soccer administration, please come and share some of the most important aspects of the job with those who are newer.  See the AGM information sheet for details.

Please encourage your interested referees to come to the assignor clinic.  See the AGM information sheet for details.

We have reserved a block of rooms at the Courtyard, so we will have ample lodging for the event. See the AGM information sheet for details.
