C.      Old Business

1. Junior Officers
   1. Closing date for Junior Officer Applications is August 1.
   2. Applicants must be 14-18 years old by August 1, 2016
   3. Jr. Officers will now be a more competitive and specified position. The Board
      will give more direction to the officers.
2. New Committees and Committee Updates
   1. Coaching Program
      1. Program is ready. Need to get more marketing out and need to spread
         the word. Give an overview of the program and its goals.
   2. STEP – Startup Equipment Program
      1. Program did not get finalized. Need a new committee head to launch
         for upcoming year. Give brief overview of program and goals. We have
         basic outlines for the program but need to make the more detailed
         items, like applications and scoring programs.
   3. Scholarship Program
      1. Financial update will be given by Mike. We can review how we’re record
         keeping for the sake of our 501(c)3 status (keeping applications and
         scoring, etc.) Keep in mind that donations are tax deductible. No
         eligible candidates applied this year so there are no recipients for 2016.
   4. Rulebook Committee
      1. Link to IUF skill levels on website. Accepted rulebook update.
      2. Wendy requests age groups get changed. An IUF committee has already
         been formed.
      3. To change rules it is best to get on an IUF committee, not USA, since
         USA rules default to IUF rules.
   5. Financial Overview
      1. Approximately $24k in the black, always a happy thing

D.      Current Board Members’ and Chairpersons’ Reports

1. Amanda Grzych, President
   1. I’d like to say thank you for being able to be president for the past three years. Over the three years I’ve worked with some great Board members and I feel
      like we’ve accomplished a lot. This year alone we were able to launch the
      coaching program, create a rider locator, started a document on how to host
      nationals, created a timeline of the Board’s activity, we introduced several Jr.
      Officers to the Board, started a USA Facebook page, determined that keeping
      disciplines sectioned off at NAUCC is beneficial primarily for urban riders,
      created a GoogleDoc database to hold all of the Board’s important information,
      created general emails that are transferrable when officers change, created
      the NAUCC liaison position to assist hosts, and we’ve also learned that Skype
      doesn’t like meetings with more than 8 people! Overall it’s been a crazy year
      but we’ve had some great results. I look forward to watching the sport
      continue to grow and evolve.
2. Patricia Wilton, Vice President
3. Kenny Cason, Secretary

8. David Panofsky, Director
9. Richard & Rick Tharrett, OOW
10. Mike Schatz, Webmaster

12. Max Schulze, Trials and Street Adviser/Coordinator and Scholarship Committee Chair
    1. No eligible candidates this year
    2. The program is healthy and will continue

E.      New Business

1. OOW format will be changing
   1. We’ve determined that OOW should either be done exclusively through
      Facebook or a smaller newsletter that is sent via Mailchimp. Either way we
      think one of the Jr. Officers should take over this duty. We just want to see
      which idea is preferred, but without taking an actual vote.
