MEETING Meeting was called to order by Gloria Manning, President at
1:40pm (during lunch break) 24 Coaches were in Attendance Minutes from the 2010 Meeting were approved It was announced that Angela Serini is filling the position
of Secretary for retired Ted Leineke Treasurer, Jeff Kujawa, collected dues for the 2011-2012
season. Jeff Kujawa reported the Treasury balance as a little over
$25,000. The balance is increasing yearly due mostly to the Jeff also stated that monies in the account should be used
to better the sport. To make some
suggestions for speed, his thoughts include as follows: (1) Purchase
a Finish Line Camera (2) Possibly
increase skater grants to $1,000. ea. Jeff is interested in hearing your thoughts and encouraged
the clubs to send in their ideas. Finally, he stated please pay your dues. That is your power to vote. Gloria Manning reported information from the National Board
of Directors meeting which took place 4/30th & 5/1/11 in (1)
The Testing
Program which is currently based on “Quads” will be revised for “In-Lines.” (2)
An Executive
decision for the Pan American Championships was made…..sending 3 contestants
with a $500.00 grant each was approved.
Gloria commented that we have to support the championships; otherwise in
the eyes of the OTC, they will not support our sport. Bids: Gloria reported
that there was one bid for the 2012 Speed Regionals and that came from
Spinnations. Gloria mentioned that the
owner will do just about anything to help us hold a great championship. C.J. from So. Fl. Blades commented that the Speed track at
Spinnations was not laid out properly. Steve Pyles, Coach of the Team at
Spinnations was asked about the tract and he stated that the track was laid
down in accordance with USAC specifications. (Chief Referee, Allen Hughes, was
also consulted during the championships and found no apparent discrepancy). Jim Blair opened the floor to suggestions on the date of the
2012 Speed Regionals. Ed. Mueller
commented that if we should consider any move into June, it might be hard to
get good Referees because of the other
speed regionals going on at that
time. Jeff also commented that it
is well known that we treat our officials very well and we have never had
trouble getting good officials to come work our event. Angie also commented that most of the food
that we bring in for the officials is donated from local restaurants so our
regional income/sponsorship is not effected.
Jim Blair made the suggestion of the 2nd week in June. No one introduced any other date at which
time Mr. Blair asked if everyone was for that date. Hands went up. He asked if anyone was opposed. No one opposed. He finished by asking everyone to think about
it and get back with him before the end of the competition. Motion to adjourn……….all approved. Recording Secretary Angela Serini Gloria noted that the 2nd week of June has always
been the weekend of the Artistic Championships so another date must be decided. MINUTES OF 2011 ARTISTIC REGIONAL MEETING HELD 6/14/11 President, Gloria Manning, opened the meeting at There were 19 in attendance with 11 clubs represented. The Art and Speed 2010 Minutes were read which prompted a
question concerning the speed minutes and whether a region can purchase their
own medals rather than going thru the national office. Gloria responded that this was checked thru
Richard Hawkins and the answer is “NO”……..not allowed. Also stated in the speed minutes was the fact
that sometimes speed equipment (not owned by the region) is borrowed for a
fee. The question prompted was “does
this work better” than purchasing.
Gloria said “not really” but speed requires more equipment than art to
run their event and at times it has become necessary. Janet Pavilonis made a motion to accept the minutes and
Nancy Crumbock 2nd… Gloria gave a report for our Region’s Financial Officer,
Jeff Kujawa as Jeff was unable to attend.
The region’s bank account balance is up from last year (but did not have
the exact balance) and in accordance with our “non-Profit” status, we need to
start showing that we are spending money.
Gloria said that she cut back on regional expenses the last few years
because of the lack of funds. Per diem
was cut for the regional staff. These
are the people that are there pretty much all day and all night during the 3
days we run. There was not a complaint
nor did any one quit when they were told that they would be donating their time
without any compensation a few years back.
Starting with 2011, the region is paying per diem again. She stated that
her regional team is wonderful and she cannot do without them. Gloria also stated that Lillian Gauvin has taken the cashier positon at the front
door in place of Retired Dottie Leinecke and Angie Serini is filling the Secretary position in place of retired Ted
Leineke. Janet Pavilonis asked about the requirements to spend money
in the regional account. Gloria said that she does not have the total authority to
spend (other than necessary expenses) and that the final approval on other expenditures
comes from our Financial Officer, Jeff Kujawa.
Gloria stated that she does have a recommendation and that is that the
So. Region World Team receive $1,000.00 each to help with their expenses. If any of the clubs have any other
recommendations, please let Gloria know your ideas. Also, equipment for speed will be purchased
instead of borrowed. Last year, there was an Executive Committee Decision which
allowed USAC/RC to give $3,000. to
Jessica Gaudy, Jessica Fuerenstein and Andy Pavilonis. John Burchfield and Shawna received $500.
from our Region approved by vote. Nancy Crumbock asked about the phrase she sees frequently
where speed is concerned.. “Recognized by the Olympic Committee” Gloria
agreed that Speed does get more recognition than art. Gloria stated that speed is recognized as a
cross-over “feeder sport”. Gloria reported that HOCKEY will now be governed by our
sport. On the numbers, Speed and art
have less members than Roller Derby.
CIPA has accepted Roller Derby and so now we have added another sport to
our organization. Vickie Bateman made a motion to give $1,000. each to our
World Team Members. Rebecca Pallessen 2nd No one opposed. Gloria announced that Janet Pavilonis made a motion to accept the Treasurer’s
report and was 2nd by Rebecca Pallesen. Gloria announced that Caroline Bell had passed her Gold
Medal Circle Figure Test. Tony Berger presented the Artistic report. He stated that he will be attending the
national Regional Representative Meeting and stated that we need an
Alternate. Janet Pavilonis was nominated
and approved. Tony stated that we need to be active to build our
sport. There is a Business portion and a
skating portion. Business
first………….Suggested a Recreational Card.
He mentioned that We have to learn how to make money without the competition
aspect. We need to find a way to
grow. Tony suggested forming a committee
to work on ideas to improve our sport. No committee was formed. This will be brought up at the next meeting. It was mentioned that there are coaches who hold coach cards
simply to attend the national championship but are not actively teaching. This is not right. A few minutes of
miscellaneous complaints were made and suggestion for how to eliminate this
problem has been requested. Gloria said that she is thinking about re-doing the region’s
email mailing list and probably dropping addresses. She is aware that there are people still on
her list that are no longer involved and
should be removed. There will be a list
made from currently paid clubs to receive future mailings. Our Gloria stated that we have a USOC Coaching Ethics Code which
the World Team Coaches and Manager must sign.
It outlines the responsibilities of the coach but it does not include
penalties. Gloria stated that most
coaches would not teach another coaches student without their permission but
some will. Approaching the Board to add
penalties is questionable. It will not
change the situation. Angie suggested
that the clubs incorporate their own rules regarding coach conduct. Gloria stated that only rink owners have control of coaches
who do not respect the right of others or the Code of Ethics. Janet Pavilonis stated that the Regional schedule was based
on prior years’ scheduling. However,
this year we found too many conflicts as many new events were added. She asked that the clubs review this year’s
schedule and advise her of any conflicts so that changes can be made Well in advance. Look
at 2011’s schedule as though it is 2012 In spite of the schedule, the championship ran very well,
the best in years stated Gloria. The “judging” during the regionals also received many
compliments. Gloria stated that this year’s seminar was planned around
the Regional Championships and we were fortunate to have 4 speakers. Based on
the good attendance of this year, we will again host a Regional Seminar. Next year will be an all day event which will
include classroom work at the hotel, group instruction at the rink and private
lessons. We will be requesting the
Regional Officials to be our guest speakers.
Art officials are Pat and Mike Jacques, Keith Ungricht, Billy Mastriano,
John Cawley, Al Taglang, Ted Hansford and John Hultquist plus more to complete
a panel of 9. Although Al Taglang and
Ted Hansford are Southern Region Officials, they are listed out of Gloria also stated that Lee Remley (B Commission) did some
judging this year and did a good job.
There will be a local“B” judge chosen for next year as well, and will be
chosen based on their qualifications and performance history. TERMS EXPIRING – Nancy Crumbock’s Executive Committee
position is expiring. Cookie was nominated to serve for another term which ends in
2015. Diana McIntyre 2nd. All were in favor. Eric Hadley was invited to judge the Great Lakes
Regional. Congrats to Eric. Angie Serini asked about nominations for the Secretary
position she was asked to fill when Ted Retired . Tony Berger nominated Angie Serini There was
an overwhelming approval that Angie should stay. She will serve in this position until 2013. Meeting Ended at approximately Motion to adjourn……….all approved. Recording Secretary Angela Serini Note: As of January
