NATIONAL REPORT
George Kolibaba gave a report and said that the National organization was in better shape than before. Financially they are doing better with the Mens and Ladies Roller Derby.
Speed will still be the best bet for Olympic inclusion. At the IOC meeting 5 sports were potential and Speed was one of them.

Membership cards are going to start be valid from September to December 31.
Membership cars will go up in price 25% more and Coaches Cards and Club Charters will be 25% more also.

There was discussion at the national meeting about doing away with the Freestyle and Pairs set
requirements and leave it open to whatever the skater wishes to include.

NATIONALS IN 2009 will probably be in Peoria Illinois. The organization is getting the plans on this and will announce them.

STREAMING VIDEO coverage will be available at Nationals again this year. Sponsorship may be offered.

NW MEETS FOR NEXT SEASON:
January the Oaks will put on an Adult Meet like last year but it will be at a time that the skaters are more free to come because it is after the Holidays.

In February (weekend after Presidents Day) Bremerton discussed that they would like to have a Sophomore and below contest with Elite--World Class/Jr World Class events included.

Auburn would like the NW Regional Invitational April 17-18-19. They were asked to specify the “A” or “B” foot in the requirements as there was some confusion on that at the last meet.

The nominees for the NW Awards for Skater of the Year, Coach of the Year,
Rudy Leppin Sportmanship, Special Recognition awards were discussed and voted on.

The meeting was adjourned.
