All, We are slated for our District 13 Annual Meeting at the end of this month (October 26), on Saturday at 9:00 AM - 2:00 PM - Refreshments and Lunch will be provided. LOCATION TBD! ALL PRESIDENTS are required to attend, and ANY Board member that wishes to attend may. This year we will have some new twists. Each President will need to make a report/presentation to the GROUP on their league. This is to help all the leagues and boards in the District understand your league and board better, and find ways to help each other perform better as a league. This exercise is to foster better communication, cooperation, and understanding between the leagues. Please provide the following information in your report (if you want to put it in written form that's probably a good idea, but also make a verbal presentation to the group to help encourage discussion) : 1. League Divisions played last year, and League Divisions planned for this year 2. Number of Players in your league 3. League Finances (General overview of revenue and expenses, don't need to be too specific on expenses). Include items like registration fees, field costs, to give the group a general idea of what it takes to run your league. Also if you have funds left over at the end of the year. 4. Draft schedule and details 5. Options for Interleaguing (if you intend to play games with other leagues ) 6. What can be done to improve your league 7. What you think the District did to support you 8. Where you think the District failed your league 9. Your thoughts on mid-season tournaments 10. Training you, your board, or your coaches need. 11. Any major changes in your league 12.
