3 experiences in Orange County recently and the reluctance for active members to assume board positions. Mark Flores of Southeast and Sean Horton of Bay Area gave similar testimonials. Other officers cited the reluctance for managers and directors to volunteer their staff to take on board positions, committee posts, and serve as tournament hosts, and how profoundly that has affected the organization negatively. President Carlos Espinosa cited an inability of the organization to adapt to shifts in the youth sports programming landscape and to properly adapt to the economic downturn that agencies have experiencing during this last decade. Espinosa commented that if the organization is stripped down to its most basic function, it is a cooperative among agencies that need one another to enhance programming for their constituents. He continued to say that the organization at minimum, should remind agencies of the importance of pitching in to help run programs that their agencies benefit from. More discussion ensued on strategies for engaging directors, goal setting, and general strategic planning. Vice President David Dill underscored the importance of putting action to planning and ensuring execution. President Carlos Espinosa motioned to have the Executive Director begin to develop the framework for a 5-year strategic plan that considers all of the challenges the organization faces as discussed among the board, and that the framework should be brought to the Executive Board in 2012 for execution to occur in 2013. The motion was seconded by Mike Zozaya, and all members present voted in the affirmative with the exception of member Steve Costly who dissented. 2. TRAINING SCMAF U – David De Leon, La Habra A second Field Allocation Roundtable is scheduled to occur in late October in the City of Murrieta. SCMAF presented an educational session at the SCTC Back to School Basics in Brea recently. The program seemed well received. SCMAF has been asked to present a workshop on coaching at the CPRS District X in Cerritos on October 1. 3. INSTITUTE – David DeLeon, La Habra This year’s SCMAF Institute will be held at The Centre at Sycamore Plaza in Lakewood on Wednesday, October 5. As of this time registration numbers are below expectation and the board was asked to encourage their agencies to register. Institute Chairman David DeLeon has secured a variety of presenters who will be offering an impressive selection of educational sessions. Additionally, vendor participation has increased from last year. 4. CITATION & AWARDS– Sherre Titus, Cerritos The SCMAF Awards & Installation is scheduled for Thursday, November 10th at Toyota Automobile Museum in Torrance.
