NHPA 4th VP COMMENTS
Greetings to All
As most of you know, the NHPA Executive Council holds a winter board meeting in
January of each year. All major issues are discussed and many decisions are
made concerning the future direction of the NHPA. I know there are a lot of
folks out there who sometimes need a "prod" to express their concerns
or opinions. If you have any concerns or questions that you think should be
discussed at the winter meeting, contact me with them asap, as the meeting agenda will be finalized soon.
A Note from Tina Hawkins:
The NHPA is seeking photos of junior pitchers that can be used on promotional
materials. If you have digital images of juniors in action (pitching,
awards ceremonies, hanging out having fun, etc..)
please email to tinahawk@msn.com.
I would like to welcome a new Regional Director to the group. Sara Otto has
been selected as the new RD for
http://www.minnesotahorseshoes.com/docs/RD_Brochure.pdf
This is the time of year that all RD's must establish
the tournament schedules for 2011, and the information in this pamphlet is full
of great information. I know that many of you already have a good method of
gathering your tournament info and creating your schedules, but some of you
might find this pamphlet helpful.
Another topic I need to touch on with ya'll is about nominations for awards.
Many of our members may not know that nominations for NHPA Achievement Awards,
and even the Arch Stokes Award, can be submitted by any member of the NHPA in
good standing. The award winners are voted on by the executive council, so
please be complete with the accomplishments and reasoning for the nomination.
The forms for these nominations are posted on the NHPA website in the
"NHPA Member" section. I have also attached the forms to this email
for your convenience and for your files.
As always, if there are any questions you need answered, contact me and if I
cannot answer you, I will promptly get you in touch with someone who can.
thanks
Jerry LaBrosse
