08/13/13 – Reminder about 2013 KHSAA Annual Meeting

August 13, 2013 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 2013 Annual Meeting of the membership of the KHSAA is to be held on Thursday, September 19 in the Thorobred 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 weeks, 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 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 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 August 26, 2013 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. The delegate designation and information can be submitted through this link, http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/2013AnnualMeetingRegistration

Final information on the meeting will be distributed electronically as in the past, and in addition, will be posted on the KHSAA web site,http://khsaa.org/general/annual-meeting-information/
