Is there a shortage of Officials in your State/Area? Why?

[Rick KY]

In Northern Kentucky we currently ahve no shortage of football officials. The NKOA has over 100 members and 12 full time varsity crews. We have many officials over 50 years old, and several planning to retire in the next 1-3 years, so recruiting is important. Luckily, we have been able to recruit as many as 8 new poeple per year for the last 5 years, mostly by word of mouth or 1:1 recruiting efforts. We have a healthy organization.
