Meeting began at 7:17 P.M. at Roy’s
house.
-
Board members present were Guy
Taglienti, Steve Epstein, John Craven, Tom Winston, Larry Simpson,
Roy Getzoff, and Kelvin Williams
-
The final meeting calendar has not
been finalized yet.
-
Failure of white hats not turning in evaluations
could possibly result in losing an assignment losing points on his
personal rating as an official.
-
Roy suggested that crew members
rate the official who works opposite him. Ex. R and U will rate
each other.
-
Officials who missed two
consecutive meetings during the 2003 season will not be given
spring games in 2004
-
Steve said that FAU will have their
spring game at Lockhart on April 17. We can have a booth there in
order to recruit new officials. Steve has obtained a 100 -
question NCAA video. "You Make the Call" will be the enticement
method of getting potential officials. Roy said we have 185
officials in our association, and he does NOT want board members
to work the booths - - he wants other officials to take leadership
roles.
-
Steve spoke with the Miami
Herald and the Sun-Sentinel. They will
publicize our spring training sessions.
-
Steve mentioned other methods of
recruiting officials: using Damian, using teacher check stubs, and
using officials to get their friends to become officials.
-
Tag said we have about $3,200 to
start off the year.
-
To give the $3,200 back to the
association members, suggestions were made to give everyone a
whistle or a hat or a pencil
or a pair of socks. SOCKS won out.
-
Dr. Stewart e-mailed Roy and said
he would strongly consider our association’s proposals such as
increased travel fee, etc.
-
Roy said that the pre-season state clinic for 2004
might be on-line.
-
Roy suggested that officials who
scored under 85 on the test last year could go on-line where 500
tests questions are presented. Taking those tests prove to be very
beneficial.
-
Roy suggested that Tom emphasize
mechanics before rules knowledge during spring
training sessions. Spring training sessions will be held at South
Plantations on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
-
There was a unanimous agreement
that COMMITTEES for next year be restructured.
-
Business cards, (2,500 of
them) will be made up to encourage people to become football
officials.

Meeting was adjourned at 8:57 P.M.
