Soccer President Dr. Dan Roth called the meeting to order at 5:00 pm. Dr. Roth made a few opening remarks and noted
that the credentials report would be given once it had been tabulated. He also announced that Harmon Hodge had been re-elected as the Middle District Director. He also announced that we had two new
District Directors elected to the BOD. Russ
Hickman Northern District Director and Cleveland Grimes South Eastern
District Director.
MinutesDr.
Roth asked if there were any corrections or additions to the minutes of the
previous AGM meeting (the minutes are posted on the web). Hearing none, a motion was made and
seconded to accept the minutes as written. Approved.
Presidents AddressDr.
Roth proceeded to present the presidents address to the membership. He covered the major areas of his report and
discussed the direction that the organization is heading. The Dr. Roth discussed the possibility of
USYS and USSF increasing their fees. This increase will not have an affect on our players fees because when
we did our last increase there was enough to cover the predicted increase. He also touched on the situation developing
between USYS and the Federation (USSF). This situation might lead to a grievance being filed with U S Olympic
Committee (USOC). If this fails there
will most likely be litigation. He also
discussed some of the happening at the Regional level including the formation
of the Directors Cup and Region III Premier League. Dr. Roth asked the membership to think
about what are the needs of the Recreational component of the Organization and
let Tennessee Soccer what are the needs.
Dr.
Roth stated to the membership that we are still in need for a host Association
for the girls Division 2 and 3 State Tournament. He also discussed the new format of the AGM
and changes for next years event including going to a day and a half to spend
more time in specific topics/issues
