Sectional Meeting & Gov. Council Start

We had our Sectional meeting this morning where delegates from the each section gather separately to review the requests for action approved by the Board and to make presentations.  Our meeting started with the announcement of National officials, among them our own Phillip Diguglielmo received his National Singles Tech Specialist appoinment (congratulations Phillip!). Others from Northern California receiving National appointments: Alison Hershberger-Filo (Judge), Ellen Izuka (Accountant), Joan Burns & Joyce Burden (Theater on Ice Judges). It was also announced that Rick Perez received his World Judging appointment for Synchro skating. The last part of the sectional meeting was dedicated to Nominating Committee elections.  Representatives from the SW & NW Pacific were voted on and Dawn Eyerly (SWP) and Bill Cloran (NWP) were elected.

Governing Council began after lunch with a video replay of the Haydenettes Synchro team's free program from Worlds where they earned bronze for the 3rd year in a row (their program was amazing!). That was followed by the keynote address by 2 representatives of the Haydenettes team.  Katie already posted the actions made on the exhibits (which are requests for bylaw changes).  There were only 7 rule request items isolated - meaning a delegate has asked that a request for action be specifically reviewed and/or debated by the GC delegates. Any items that were approved by the Board and not brought forward for debate by the GC delegates will be automatically adopted. People may still isolate items during the meeting tomorrow, but if there aren't any more then when the discussion on these and any new business items is completed, we will be done with the 2012 Governing Council meeting.  ~Lisa
