2023 Annual Meeting:
The WSO Annual Meeting will take place on June 24, 2023, via Zoom with the following schedule:
- 9AM-10AM: *Open Coaches Forum - ask questions of WSO Board of Directors (BoD); WSO Unified Schedule and other tasks for 2023-24 will be discussed.
- 10AM-11AM: Year-End BoD reports/confirmation of adherence to By-Laws; Final election balloting/announcement of results. *Open meeting.
- 11AM-1PM: Closed BoD mtg for continuing/newly-elected board members.
*WSO encourages any/all member schools to attend the open sessions of the Annual Meeting. However, as our Zoom account only allows up to 100 participants, we ask that only 1-2 representatives from a school attend. [No need to notify WSO of intent to attend - we generally don't fill up!] The Zoom log-on code is 509-299-5394.
2023 BoD Election Information:
- There are three 3-year positions up for election. Additionally, one of our board members with one year remaining on term has resigned, leaving a 1-year position to be filled. There are five candidates who applied by the 4/30 deadline. The top three vote-getters will secure a 3-year term. The fourth place vote-getter will have the 1-year term (and can apply for re-election to a 3-year term in 2024).
- Five students provided all application materials by the 4/30 deadline for 1-year Student Advisor positions - up to three are allowed in the WSO By-Laws.
- Only the primary coach for each school will be sent the election ballot since each school has a vote. For schools with multiple coaches, please consult one another before submitting your school's ballot. Ballots should be sent to primary coach by 5/22 with requested return date of 6/9/23. WSO By-Laws allow for voting at the Annual Meeting, but as it will be via Zoom, and most likely unable to add tally ballots submitted after 6/22/23.
WSO BoD Applicants - please review each candidate's materials (Nomination Form, Letter of Intent, Resume). Again, for schools with multiple coaches, connect with primary coach to identify voting preferences. If unsure who primary coach is, contact State Director.
