Dear Approved Associations:
The nineteenth annual MHSAA Women in Sports Leadership Conference entitled "Got Leadership?" will be held in Lansing, Michigan at the Lexington Lansing Hotel on February 7 & 8, 2010. Attached you will find registration information for this event which is also found on mhsaa.com. Please distribute to appropriate individuals within your association.
There are many opportunities to learn more about leadership within this Conference and all sessions have been selected through suggestions submitted by the WISL Planning Committee. Please encourage young women who are interested in leadership positions and interscholastic athletics to attend, as well as men and women who are responsible for recruiting, hiring, training and retaining women as coaches, athletic administrators and officials. The agenda is truly a reflection of what school administrators, students and officials have requested from a leadership conference.
In addition, on Saturday, February 6, 2010, the MHSAA is offering an official's training clinic which is designed primarily for women interested in becoming registered MHSAA officials. The training staff is primarily women who have demonstrated their success in one or more sports or who are trainers for an Approved Association. The one-day, six-hour training will provide novice training for the participant who will leave the clinic as a registered MHSAA official. The $40 cost includes lunch and training from a veteran official.
Please share this information with the area that you serve. You may also wish to provide one or more scholarships to seniors in high school or women in your service area who may be interested in gaining the training which sends them on their way to successful careers in officiating and/or coaching.
For Sale
Mike Thyng retired from officiating several years ago and has many referee shirts (yellow, black, and red). If you are interested you may call him 269-506-2631 (C) or mthyng@charter.net.
