The MID-TAC Executive Board and Member Clubs held the 2011 Fall Meeting in Indianapolis, IN at the Marriott Indianapolis North, 8:30 am est on October 1, 2011. Thorough reporting was made on each Agenda item.

Reviews of the 55th Annual Championships Tournament were positive with plans of increasing participation for 2012. A detailed discussion was had from the President's Report on her attendance at the ATA 94th Championships in Atlanta. A National Ranking Committee and Membership Committee were called into existence by President Franklyn Scott at the Annual Membership Meeting. MID-TAC followed suit and established its own Section Ranking Committee.

MID-TAC's Coaches and Instructors Committee is poised to have at least two additional Coaches Connection Junior Camps before the close of the year. Plans were also  shared for launching the 2nd Annual "Friends of MID-TAC Juniors" Holiday Raffle October 20 to December 11, 2011. The new Research and Development Chairperson, Roger Allen, attended his first MID-TAC Meeting and left armed with pertinent information to solicit funds on behalf of MID-TAC's Junior Development efforts with new vigor and purpose.

The key accomplishment of the Meeting, however, was the adoption of MID-TAC's Policy and Procedurals Manual that was developed under the supervision of Parliamentarian, Richard Brown of Detroit, MI, [click here for copy]. The Manual was adopted by a unanimous vote of all eleven of MID-TAC Member Clubs - each represented at the Meeting.

MID-TAC is in good shape and ready to move to the next level. A call out was also made for people interested in being trained as tournament directors, site directors and site director assistants. Contact the President for details at mdorsey@acninc.net.
