Happy New Year!
I hope your plans for 2007 are coming together after a good holiday season.
Following up on recommendations from the April 2006 Region 4 meeting, the most recent (November 2006) regional finance information is available at http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/usdfregion4/ under FILES. If you are interested, please take a look!
Thanks to Susan Lang for suggesting this reminder: GMO newsletter editors--please publish in your newsletters that it is easy to subscribe to the Region 4 listserve. Just send a message to usdfregion4-subscribe@yahoogroups.com to join. If anyone has any difficulties please have them contact me or Mary Nemecek at msnemecek@....
Thanks for the following people for their willingness to serve as Regional Coordinators on USDF Councils. There are a few slots still open and looking for volunteers! Any member of Region 4 and especially if you do not see someone from your GMO already listed is encouraged to contact me if you are interested. Per USDF Policies & Procedures, Council coordinators be Participating Members of USDF.
Adult Education: Michele Inman (inman.mh@...) from SLADS
Awards: still looking for someone to step in for Amanda Johnson when she moves to Region 2 this summer. Mandy recommends this person have access to an engraver who can engrave on a curved surface. It is also helpful if you already plan to go
to the Regionals.
Competitors: Anne Cizadlo (kodester1@...) from NWDS, EIDEA and CSDEA
Competition Management: Tim Griest (briarfox@...) from KDEA
FEI Jr/Yr: Maryanne Mahowald (MMahowald612@...) from CSDEA will be mentoring Nancy Gorton (capriole22@...) from KCDS
GMO: Liaison to large GMOs will be Beth Wood from NDA (huskerbeth1@...). I am still looking for someone to replace me as the liaison to small GMOs. It's a fun volunteer position!
Instructor/Trainer: Colleen Holden (rockiedog@...) from CSDEA and DDE
Nominating: Megan Ward (mward@...) from EIDEA
Technical Delegate: Loretta Berg (LorettaBerg@...)
Youth: Lloyd Landkamer (LLandkamer@...) from CSDEA
Lastly, I'm looking for a few volunteers with experience with Policies and Procedures documents to read through and comment on a P & P document for Region 4 that we can all discuss at the Region 4 mid-year meeting.
Cheers,
Sarah Patrick
