November 17th membership meeting
Updates:
The slides and downloadable PDF of the COVID task force’s “Impact & Planning Survey: Summary of Responses” is posted on their committee page, along with the spreadsheet of all of the responses and additional comments that were submitted. (The summary of responses, despite being 40 slides long, contains select topics that we thought would be most relevant for the membership.) The resources section has also been updated with the newest versions of the USRowing and NCAA guidelines (you can read a one-page summary of both here).
Reminders:
The election for the IRCA Board of Directors will be open until Friday Nov. 20th at 8pm. If you haven’t voted yet, you can read the letters of interest from the nominees here and cast your vote here. Please remember to only vote once and only in your region.
If you’re interested in joining the Membership Committee, we’re looking to add one more rep each from D2 and D3. If you’d like to participate, please send Kayleigh an email.
