Dear members of the USA Underwater Hockey community,

At the symposium and at the banquet at the 2010 National Championships in Gainesville Florida, our current Development Directors, Tom and Patty Redig, announced that they were retiring as the Development Directors. The Governing Committee has asked Charlie Nielsen from Minnesota to become the new Development Director, and he has agreed to accept this important position. We thank Tom and Patty for all of their hard work, and we welcome Charlie as our new Development Director!!

Also at the symposium, we announced that USA Underwater Hockey has established some positions that we are currently seeking people to fill. We need energetic people to fill these volunteer positions. Each position is important to help move underwater hockey forward here in the United States.

The positions we have created are:

- Director of Referee Training
- Director of Marketing and Press Relations
- Director of Fundraising

The people that fill these positions must be able to give of their time and energy to the underwater hockey community. They will report to the Governing Committee of USA Underwater Hockey. Each must be a dues paying member of the Underwater Society of America. The job description for each position can be found on the usauwh.com website in the news section. To express an interest in any of these positions, please contact Paul Wittekind at
Paul_Wittekind@usauwh.com by 1 August 2010.

In addition, we have created a volunteer committee to work on the USA Underwater Hockey website. To volunteer for that committee, please contact Tyera Eulberg at Tyera_Eulberg@usauwh.com .

Finally, we have recreated the Development Committee to assist Charlie Nielsen in his work as the Development Director. If you are interested in serving on the new Development Committee, please contact Charlie Nielsen at nordicww@hotmail.com .

Thank you, and we look forward to seeing you in the pool!

Sincerely,

Terry Sutton

Survey: Win a year-long USOA hockey membership!; Get involved with the Web team

usauwh.com … It’s your website!

And we want to know what you want from it.

We’ve created a quick online survey to help us understand how you use (or want to use) the USA Underwater hockey website. Find the survey at http://www.usauwh.com/survey

As an incentive for filling out the survey, we are giving away a USOA underwater hockey membership for one year to one random person who fills in their email address. The drawing will be held July 22nd.

Give something back to your UWH community!

Seeking a few volunteers to join the USA UWH web team to help out with redesigning and maintaining the USA UWH website.

Here’s a few things we’re interested in pursuing:
- Design a system to track requests/suggestions for the website.
- Automate some portions (like blogs for people like DD, GovComm, etc.)
- Make additions as needed for non-automated areas on a scheduled basis (every week, every 2 weeks, whatever)
- add a mobile version
- online membership and dues
- New projects/ modules based on your interests and expertise
- and other additions that the team comes up with

We’d like to have a team in place by the end of July, with a full rollout of the new website by the end of the year.
