Our local association (Northern California) signs a contract with several school leagues and city recreational departments. The association agrees to supply trained officials, and in turn channels the payments. We are legally independent contractors who can work anywhere, but the local games are booked through the association at this year's negotiated pay rates. Our association pays $5 extra per assignment date for mileage for games in the outskirts of the area.
The association's assignor will, if need be, find officials not a member of the association, but of course members get first shot at the games.
Obviously the association holds a number of meetings, training sessions, etc.
