08/31/14 – Reminder about 2014 Annual Meeting of KHSAA High Schools

September 9, 2014 Athletic Department Blog Updates

This is intended for all KHSAA member school Superintendents, Principals and Athletic Directors and the link can be forwarded as needed.

The 2014 Annual Meeting of the membership of the KHSAA is to be held on Monday, September 29 in the Thoroughbred meeting rooms on the third floor at the Lexington Center (High Street level,adjacent to the concourse of Rupp Arena). A final agenda will be published in the coming days, but the meeting is expected to begin at approximately 8:00 a.m. ET. and conclude not later than 1:30 p.m.

This specific meeting has professional development/leadership training opportunities in the morning, a discussion period regarding proposals for rules changes, and a meeting where delegates convene to approve or disapprove the proposed KHSAA Constitution and Bylaw changes.

The Hyatt Regency, adjacent to the center, has a small block of rooms available for Sunday night, September 28, by contacting 859-253-1234 and when transferred to the reservations office, refer to the KHSAA block of rooms (“KHSAA Athletic Meeting”) for the KHSAA block of rooms at $122 per night. Reservations at the Hyatt should be made by Friday, September 12, 2014 as the block will close at that time. Please be mindful that with other meetings in town that day, prompt room requests would be helpful in ensuring a room is available.

The staff and Board of Control again hope that 100% of the member schools plan on attending this important meeting. As always, professional development opportunities, relevant exhibitors and lively discussion of the future of high school athletics in our state will be just a few things that will highlight the day.

At this time, we need each school to formally designate the Delegate for your school to vote during the business session. The delegate must be someone from your school, but is not restricted to the Principal and/or Athletic Director or any specific academic or educational background. This important meeting allows your school a vote and voice in the operations of the Association. Please note that the delegate is simply the person who will be attending and voting, please do not confuse this with the Principal or Designated Representative as detailed in Bylaw 1.

The delegate designation and information can be submitted through this link, https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/201415AnnualMeeting

Final information on the meeting, including proposals and informational seminar breakout descriptions, will be distributed electronically as in the past via the KHSAA website, http://khsaa.org/general/annual-meeting-information/
