KCA Meeting After Tour of KC
August 8, 2008
The KCA board of directors will conduct a meeting Sunday at 3 PM after the Tour of KC concludes. In keeping with bylaw requirements to have at least two meetings open to the public each year any voting members of the KCA (club presidents, promoters or their proxies) can attend, offer their opinions and observe while the board of directors discusses and decides the usual life or death issues we are faced with.
Non-BOD members may not vote at this meeting but input from all members is always welcome. The meeting will begin with a dinner (self pay) at Tienda Casa Paloma mexican restaurant at 3 PM with the meeting to follow immediately after. I have reserved a large table under my name "Roger" for our group. Hopefully the meeting will be over by 6 PM. Tienda Casa Paloma is near the corner of 82nd & Metcalf in Shawnee, KS. | Map |
Subjects to be discussed and decided include but are not limited to... 1) Finalize 2009 state championship bid process 2) Set date and rules for a Promoters date setting meeting 3) Determine date and location of KCA annual meeting 4) Discuss and revise current rules on use of KCA equipment at races 5) Set up 2009 Omnium framework 6) USAC local association annual meeting in CO.
Hope this finds you fit, fast and lean,
