I just talked with the USAWA National Championships meet director Bob Geib, and Bob has assured me that everything is “on track” for an outstanding Nationals. Bob (along with Scott Schmidt) have been working hard on this meet to make sure it is going to be a great competition for everyone.
Bob wanted to share with everyone a couple websites that highlight Vermilion.

I want to officially welcome my father, LaVerne, into the ranks of the LEVEL 2 USAWA OFFICIALS. I just received confirmation from the USAWA Officials Director Joe Garcia that his application to become a Level 2 official was granted. Level 2 is the highest level you can achieve as an official in the USAWA. Once you achieve Level 2 status you are certified for life. Never again do you have to take the rules test or reapply!
LaVerne has been very involved over the past 10 years plus as an official. He has officiated at many high level competitions – including National Championships, Gold Cups, and World Championships. He also has the distinction of officiating at IAWA events overseas, which is quite an honor.
Congrats LaVerne!!

Before long the USAWA National Championships will be here, and with that the annual meeting of the USAWA. We have one meeting per year to make our major yearly decisions and we always coordinate that with our Nationals.
The Annual Meeting will be held at the meet venue on Saturday following the day’s lifting. So the date for the meeting is SATURDAY JUNE 24th. Start time for the meeting will be right after the lifting, so around 4 to 5 PM. Everything is pretty straight forward on the meeting agenda this year. There doesn’t seem to be any controversial decisions to be made, so I’m hoping for a short meeting.
