Missing Info

Notes by Ray Tuleya:
(At the Annual Meeting in May of 1998, the statewide membership voted to create a secretarial position to assist the President. It was stipulated that the person was to be selected by the Executive Board and was to be paid $1,000 per year. The individual was not allowed to be a coach or referee to avoid any conflicts of interest. This positions name was changed from Executive Secretary to Executive Director to avoid the impression that it was replacing the current Secretary position. The proposal originally came from outgoing President Jim McMaster and was implemented by myself as the President at that time.)
(However, this position was legally lost in Revised Bylaws: "Adopted as amended by membership this 29th day of August, 2000".)

(There also used to be information in this section under related organizations talking about the "Inter-League Council of Athletic Directors". This helped define the athletic directors as refered to in Amendment One of the By-Laws.)
