BACKGROUND CHECK
The background checks are available on our website at http://www.pntf.org/coaches/.
Patti Petesch announced that the background checks will be mandatory in 2008 so that our Association can be considered “in good standing” with USATF. This allows our Association to vote at the National convention.
FRED DEAN SCHOLARSHIP
Asha Dean reported that the Fred Dean Golf Tournament & Reception is scheduled for April 25th at Newcastle.
The Fred Dean Scholarship fund has approximately $13,000.
OFFICER ELECTIONS
It’s officer election time! We will be voting on the Youth PNA officers at our March meeting. Holly Genest and Kenny Emerick were selected to be on the selection committee.
OLD BUSINESS
Patti Petesch reported on the replacement of the pole vault and high jump pits at Sealth so that they meet USATF’s tougher standards: The cost of the two new pits may cost up to $30,000. The Youth PNA has agreed to put $10,000 toward the replacement of the pits as long as the school district gives us a price break on Sealth’s usage over the next few years. They are still in negotiations.
Congratulations to Drew Stevick. Drew received the Youth Contributor of the Year award at our annual banquet on February 8th.
NEXT MEETING
Our next meeting is Tuesday, March 11th, 7pm at Seattle Parks ‘n Rec. This is a full committee meeting in which we’ll be voting on the Youth PNA officers, finalizing the summer track season, going over rule changes, J.O. club assignments and addressing any unresolved issues. We would like all the teams to send at least one representative to the meeting.
