LISC Executive Board Meeting
February 19, 2004

Present: Mike Wingo, Amy Hall, Trey Bradberry, Gary Sullan, and Rick Hazlewood

1. Minutes were read and approved.

2. Adickes family situation was discussed. Dean’s mother passed away and several options were discussed as to how to display the club’s sympathy. The decision is to be made at the next meeting.

3. Amy gave a report on the Spring Cup preparations. She met with the hotel/motel association and discussed the number of teams wanting to play in the tournament.

4. Rob Hornbaker’s resignation from the board was reluctantly accepted. There was a discussion as to how to proceed with the elections coming up this spring. At this time, it was decided to leave the position vacant until the election is held. The committee agreed to organize a committee dedicated to obtaining the land we need for our own fields. It will be chaired by the Vice President of Soccer Affairs (site acquisition). We discussed how to get parents with the skills and expertise that the club needs to utilize in order to secure the funding for the field and provide for their development and maintenance.

5. Trey requested additional funding for coaching education so our coaches can be certified at higher levels. This discussion led into the budget and how to fund their education. One idea discussed was to take a small amount from the spring tournament’s profits and place it in the Education/Training/Certification budget line item of the club’s budget.

6. We reviewed the first proposed budget. We will review it again in the next meeting. It is based on the club size remaining the same as it is this year with 170 FTE players. The next meeting will be in early March.

7. The members present agreed that the roles of the committee members and the Director of Coaching should be reviewed.
