In last night's ANNUAL MEETING, the MTOA membership elected five new board members and then the board elected officers for 2012. The board also discussed the issue of meals for officials and the discussion is described below. Here are the actions of last night:
New board members:
Gary Tolbert
Larry Gendron
Stephanie Burnam
Nancy Ebersole
Susan Wertenberger
New officers for 2012:
President: Nancy King
Vice President: Susan Wertenberger
Secretary: Roz Tuerk
Treasurer: Randall Edwards
The board then formulated this policy concerning meals for officials:
"A tournament is responsible for providing meals for officials. If they choose not to, the official may leave their site for a reasonable time period to secure and pay for their own meal. They will be paid for this time."
This new policy is to be followed by all tournaments and enforced by the referee. If the referee does not secure the cooperation of the tournament then it is their responsibility to notify all officials who will be working of the change in policy and procedure.
