June Letter from the President
Welcome to ECBOA!
Hello Fellow ECBOA Members
I hope this message finds you well. In my first official communication as your new President, I'd like to express my gratitude for all of you that place your trust in myself and my fellow new board members. We have started our pre-season board meetings and are looking forward to a great training season and High School Basketball Season.
Last year's board started a process to update our by-laws. I am proud to announce that the current board has been able to pick up the work done and we will be presenting changes to the membership for your vote in the fall.
We also have been working to form our committees. In addition to the state required committees, we will be adding two new ones for our association.
The first is R.E.F.S. This committee will focus on Recruitment, Engagement, and Future Success. Rebecca Bratcher will be leading this group that will help our association retain officials and help navigate their development. Their primary goal will be to increase communications and follow up with those interested in becoming referees.
The second new committee is ECBOA Culture Committee. This committee will provide events and resources to insure that we are developing an atmosphere of camaraderie and fun within our association.
Any officials that want to be a part of leading in these committees should let us know as soon as possible as we are currently making plans for the future.
June is camp season. the MEMBERS RESOURCE page has a few camps that ECBOA is proud to promote. If you have other camp info, please provide it as training and development is a priority for the ECBOA.
Please make it a point to improve your skills by attending one or a few of these camps.
Keep checking in with the website as we make changes and post our meetings and training schedule for the upcoming season.
Thanks for all that you do to make our association one of the best in the state.
Erik Benz
President, ECBOA
