2009 Mandatory Annual Rules Clinic

The meeting will start at 9:00 AM in the fieldhouse (campus map in pdf format) at New York Institute of Technology in Old Westbury, NY. The NISOA Fitness Test will not be held at this clinic. Please note this is a new site for us this year.

As always, we welcome guests and other NISOA members to our annual meeting. Please sign up after June 1 so we can properly plan for the event.

The chapter is grateful to Clyde M. Doughty, Jr., Athletic Director at New York Tech for making their facilities available to us and supporting our chapter.

2009 Chapter Business Meetings

Business meetings start promptly at 7:30 PM and are held at the Knights of Columbus hall at 1000 Marcus Ave, New Hyde Park, New York.

There are five regularly scheduled business meetings this year (3 scheduled business meetings plus the NY Metro ISOA mandatory rules clinic and the annual awards dinner). Members must attend three of the five meetings to maintain their good standing status.

Proposed Constitutional Amendments

At the August 23, 2008 mandatory rules clinic, Alan Wharton presented two separate, proposed constitutional amendments regarding business meetings. They are:

1. An official who is assigned to work a Collegiate Soccer game on the night of a scheduled business meeting shall be excused from that meeting and be given credit for that meeting.
2. The annual dinner will be considered a business meeting.

In addition to these two proposals, the Executive Board will request discussion of the following administrative constitutional amendment:

Change Article 4, paragraph 1: “Elections shall take place with nominations brought to the floor at the fourth business meeting of that year.”

to:

“Elections shall take place at a scheduled business meeting. Nominations shall be brought to the floor at the business meeting immediately prior to the elections.”

This notice satisfies the requirement for written notification to the membership. These proposals will be discussed at the September 10, 2008 business meeting and, if approved, voted upon at the September 23, 2008.

2008 Awards Dinner

The 2008 chapter awards dinner will be held at The Sterling, 345 Hicksville Road, Bethpage, New York.

2008 Mandatory Annual Rules Clinic

The meeting will start at 8:30 AM in Humanities Hall, Room 119 at C.W. Post University. The NISOA Fitness Test will not be held at this clinic.

2008 Chapter Business Meetings

Business meetings start promptly at 7:30 PM and are held at the Knights of Columbus hall at 1000 Marcus Ave, New Hyde Park, New York. Members who attend other rules interpretation meetings are required to attend three of the four scheduled business meetings to meet the NISOA requirement to attend 3 business meetings. Since the Chapter does conduct a business meeting after the rules interpretation is complete, members attending the NY Metro ISOA rules interpretation meeting satisfy the 3 meeting requirement. Generally, the Executive Board will give members who attend rules interpretation meetings hosted by the New Jersey Metro ISOA, New England ISOA, or the NISOA Referee Training Camp credit for attending one scheduled business meeting.
