That would be the first thing I would fix if you took it.

Different system here in Virginia. You must belong to an association to officiate VHSL games, and the associations each have a commissioner whose main function is that of assigning as far as the state is concerned. In addition, the constitutions of most (if not all) VA organizations state the commissioner is responsible for negotiating all contracts with schools/conferences. We elect executive boards that are responsible for day-to-day operations of the association. The commissioner/assignor is supposed to be working FOR the association and its members, but in reality they are the face of the organization and determine much of the strategic and long-term planning.

There are at least 2 associations in VA where the organization is actually owned by an individual, and I believe those commissioners are chosen by the owner if the owner himself is not filling that role.
