Open Board Position.
A vacancy on the board is open due to the resignation of Cheryl Casey. The 7th board position includes the duties of: Player Development. The board would like to thank Cheryl for all her contributions to the SCF pickleball club.
As outlined in the “By Laws” of the SCF Pickleball club, at its discretion the Board can appoint a new member to the board. This position will serve through to the end of 2023.
A motion was present by Beth Castle and seconded by Mark Swygert that the board should appoint a new member. All members of the board were in favor.
After considerable dialog it was agreed that the position with its responsibilities should be held by a person with a higher player rating with a good understanding of how the game should be taught and coached including the teaching of the teachers. Numerous potential candidates were discussed. It was also agreed that in due course a committee should be formed to assist in Player Development to support the position.
Mary Comer had said that she would be interested in such a role on the board if one became available. Val Vollmin had communicated her interest.
After much discussion a motion was made by Beth Castle to invite Mary Comer to take this position, Sandy Angle seconded the motion. The remaining board members all voted in favor. Beth Castle agreed to contact Mary Comer that day to discuss the position.
Fireman’s Tournament.
Scott Moyer has agreed to run this tournament. The date of the tournament is TBD however 11/8/23 or 11/13/23 are the preferred dates currently.
Sponsorships
Sponsorships have been discussed to generate funding for items that the club may want to purchase at some point. As an example, items like court dryers and misters could be considered. Pulte HOA would require a certain percentage of the monies to be issued to their account. It was not clear what percentage would be required in this case. Mark Swygert agreed to contact Pulte and determine what that distribution percentage would be. Mark will report his findings at a future board meeting.
Adjourn
The meeting was adjourned at 1:48pm.
