  1. NADIIIAA Summer Forum 2007 Review/Evaluation.
        1. Sessions Summary:  Strategic planning very good, Fund – raising was geared a bit too much toward DII.  Membership would like more time to talk with each other and share ideas.
        2. Site:  Good, having a consistent room was helpful, very organized hotel staff.

c.   Do we need to send to all who attended in 2006 & 2007 sessions    for feedback on differences?  We will not send out. 

Numbers of participants:  69 total, 41 were Directors; last year it was more 50-50 in terms of Directors and Assistants.  May have been an impact having the compliance seminar week before, as many assistants may have just gone to that seminar.  Cathie will send evaluation tool to those who attended each seminar to see if this was the case. 

  1. NADIIIAA Summer Forum 2008: 
        1.  NCAA needs a decision from us on next yearÕs site, which compliance seminar site will we couple with?   May in Boston or June in San Antonio.  Discussion continued about the idea of alternating West, East, West, East.  Decision to couple with June Regional Rules in San Antonio, June 1 – 3.  We will begin forum Tuesday, June 3 in the early afternoon, finishing up on the 4th at approx. 1:30pm
        2. Funding:  $69,000 available from NCAA next year, we need to request for the next budget cycle.

 

  1. Topics for our programming at the 2008 NCAA Convention:  Convention date:  January 11 – 14, 2008 in Nashville, TN.  Programming may include an Association wide forum on membership issues, which may conflict with our usual programming time of Saturday afternoon.  Positions on a NADIIIAA Executive Board that will be open and voted on at convention:  President-Elect and At- large representative
        1. Hosting championships:  The bidding process, rewards and challenges, how to deal with it once you are granted permission to host.
