I wanted to express my thanks for your efforts in getting your board members to attend our Virtual District Wide Board Meeting. We had an excellent turnout and appreciate the time and effort each of you put into making it happen. With the future still uncertain, it was great to see so many who were willing to prepare for the coming season. We want to thank the presenters who now have established a relationship with the board members who attended their breakout sessions. We also want to thank David Graham and Ron Ficalora who were able to pull off the general session with assigned breakout rooms. Believe me it was not easy and took a lot of work on their part to make it happen. We greatly appreciate their dedication and sacrifice to make this happen. Once we have a date for the treasurer break out session we will send it out. This is just a start of training and personal contact, following up on Littleleague.org, and reading the rule book once it comes out will go along way to finishing your education. If you have any suggestions on improving our efforts to educate your board members please let me know.
