Your Associations Meetings

Board meetings last as long as it takes to cover association business, sometimes long, sometimes short.

People talking is always going to be a concern, but you've got to deal it. Perhaps a quiz at the end of the meeting that is used in the evaluation process.

I am aware of some associations that have their association meetings via the web.

I have to agree with some other statements. I do not know where you got the "most states" impression from. I have never heard too many states that are alike in the way the license officials, let alone how they deal with associations. As a matter of fact, I am no a committee that runs a conference in my state and we have state associations represented every year. I have hardly seen too many states that even have the same approach to officiating or how officials are dealt with on all kinds of issues. And I know we have had Oregon, Colorado, Kentucky, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, and California (There might be a few more) and I could not say that each of these states had the same approach.
