Members of the Executive Committee were introduced.
Web Site
www.cglax.com is the only web resource for the CGLA. Season information for the 2007 season continues to be added on a regular basis. Contact Sarah ( sarahgrey1@aol.com ) or Kate ( kdresher@msn.com ) with suggestions or to have items added to the website.
Vote on Delegates
The CGLA by-laws require an annual vote of delegates. All delegates were approved by vote.
A delegate suggested that the CGLA explore having delegates vote by e-mail if a quorum is not present. Another suggestion was made to amend the by-laws so a 2/3 quorum is not necessary for a vote. This issue will be added to the November meeting agenda.
Sarah reminded delegates that if they are returning for a second year, the club administrator needs to provide written authorization. A simple note can be e-mailed to Secretary, Angie Flachman ( angie@pub-house.com ).
Reminder on Systems
Positive or negative feedback on officials should go to CWLOA Youth Liason, Hillary Patterson ( pattersh@comcast.net ). Please cc Kate Dresher and Sarah Grey on any correspondence.
Laminated cards will again be distributed at the Spring coaches meeting.
The Blue sportsmanship card will be enforced more firmly this season than it was last.
Officials are available to come to clubs, teams or other groups to provide education on rules for $25.
Fundraising Report
Vice President Wendy Zerr reported that the CGLA will offer some new merchandise to be sold at two different dates of the Fall Ball program.
Treasurers Report
James reminded delegates that the CWLOA is always looking for new refs. This can be a great opportunity for high school girls to earn extra money.
A vote occurred to increase the Executive Director salary to $15,000 per year. 10 were in favor and 2 abstained.
A motion was made to increase CGLA dues from $415 to $500 per team. James said the fee increase is needed due to rising costs and expenses that CGLA incurs. Fees have not been increased in 4 years. Insurance, Field Permits, and officials fee increases amongst others have strained the Association budget. Mark Lucket seconded the motion. The vote will occur at the November meeting after a financial statement is distributed.
A discussion ensued about raising the dues. Some delegates were concerned that not as many girls are participating in the sport and felt cost was an issue. Other delegates did not feel this was a concern.
Executive Director's Report
Kate reminded people that the November meeting has been moved to November 14.
Kate reviewed proposed coaching certification process. A suggestion was made that instead of making it mandatory for all coaches to be Level One certified, mandate that coaches have one year from becoming a coach to become certified. This will be voted on at the November meeting. There was further discussion on how to enforce the certification process. A vote will occur on this issue at the November meeting.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:40.
