September 23rd membership meeting
Reminders:
Membership renewals are open now through Friday, October 20th. You can sign up directly here - if you don’t know which membership to choose or you have other questions, reach out to Kayleigh.
There is interest from the membership in learning more about how teams are handling the transition of volunteer assistant position to paid part-time positions, as well as how institutions are managing the Supreme Court’s decision re: affirmative action. If you’d be willing to share your experiences/feedback in this 3-question survey, you can do so here.
Registration is open for “The Conference for Rowing Coaches” - the dates of the conference are Dec. 8-10th in Saratoga Springs.
If you’re interested in learning more about starting a Stem to Stern program on your campus, you can reach out to Will Bott or Greg for more info. The info sheet and PDF presentation linked below will also be posted on the DEI committee’s page for easy access, along with the video from Thursday’s call.
Upcoming meetings (email Kayleigh if you didn’t receive a calendar invite):
Thurs. Sept. 28th at 1pm EST - New coaches orientation (“New” = new to coaching, new to men’s rowing, or new to the IRCA)
