ANNUAL MEETING

This reminder that the 2026 Annual Meeting of the membership of the KHSAA is to be held on September 17 at the Central Bank Center (fka Lexington Center). Final agenda documents will be published as they are finalized in the coming days, but the meeting is expected to begin at approximately 8:30 a.m. ET. and conclude not later than 1:30 p.m. Details and requirements for the Annual Meeting Delegate are summarized below. To submit the name of your delegate, go to https://khsaa.org/ge38-annual-meeting-delegate-designation/

PLEASE BE MINDFUL THAT ELECTRONIC VOTING VIA SMARTPHONE IS PLANNED FOR THIS MEETING AND ENSURE THE DELEGATE IS PREPARED. MORE DETAILS FORTHCOMING

This meeting, which is not mandatory for membership, will not have a virtual option.

ANNUAL MEETING DELEGATE DESIGNATION

The Annual Meeting offers continuous improvement/leadership training opportunities throughout the morning as members work to develop the best plan of action for the future, and then concludes as delegates convene to approve or disapprove the proposed KHSAA Constitution and Bylaw changes.

The staff and Board of Control again hope that 100% of the member schools plan on attending this important meeting. As always, continuous improvement opportunities (per the AD requirements of Bylaw 25), relevant exhibitors and a lively discussion of the future of high school athletics in our state will be just a few highlights of the day.

At this time, we need each school to formally designate the Delegate to vote during the business session. The delegate must be someone from your school, but is not limited to the Principal and/or Athletic Director, nor to any specific academic or educational background. This important meeting gives your school a vote and a voice in the Association’s operations. Please note that the delegate is simply the person who will attend and vote; do not confuse this with the Principal or Designated Representative, as detailed in Bylaw 1.

Final information on the meeting, including proposals and other details, will be distributed electronically, as in the past, via the KHSAA website at http://khsaa.org/general/annual-meeting-information/ and via electronic mail in the coming days. Tentatively, the agenda and proposals should be published not later than Monday, but likely earlier.

The proposals to be voted on in the business meeting will be posted on the KHSAA website at the page above, with additional notice sent to schools and delegates.
