Thank you,

I am soliciting responses of officials who have either personally been affected or have information to share about someone they know being affected by a merger and what would be helpful for us to know before going into discussions:

thanks.

Fyi, Chuck Elias is the Rules Interpreter for his IAABO board in Mass. If you have any questions about IAABO itself, I'm sure Chuck will be able to enlighten you.

Unless Chuck has experience negotiating contracts I would say his advice is about as good as...ohhhh...I dunno...yours maybe?

I predict years of badness unless whatever you do gets written into your *NEW* contracts.

Well, seeing I said that the original poster should ask Chuck about IAABO only, not negotiating contracts with IAABO, I would say that you missed my point.

And...actually, I do have experience negotiating contacts. You can't negotiate anything until you know what the stance of each side is. We don't know that in this case, do we? That makes it kinda hard to give anybody any advice imo.

Maybe I missed your point, but you didn't miss mine.

This merger has to be handled carefully through existing or new contracts.

btw, as far as I know IAABO does not negotiate contracts between assignors & local boards.

Nope, but local IAABO boards can negotiate some contracts....with assignors, other boards, schools, etc.

Btw, I think that we had the same point all along anyway. It's a negotiation.

IAABO, can act as a mediator if there are a lot of disappointed officials. IAABO is almost like a union IMO.

I think that no matter what anyone tells you, our situations are not going to be the same. I currently belong to 3 different basketball associations and each is very different and has different things to offer. I think Chuck was right on because no one here is going to be able to share something with you that will definitely help you. Even if someone was hurt by a merger that would be based on the people they were dealing with. If a merger was done, I am sure some of the leadership had a good reason. I do not understand why it would matter if IAABO is involved, because assigning would seemed assigning issues from what I understand is a local issue not an IAABO issue. I guess there is always an option to leave this organization, but it is possible that might not be a realistic option or an easy decision to make.

Peace
