April Online Meeting - Commissaries

After many attempts to try and organize a commissaire training course this spring we came to the conclusion putting a session on this year is not possible. Our only qualified commissaire who can teach this course was unable to do so this year. We tried to bring someone in, but we could not make it fit our schedule.

After speaking to our head commissaire we decided that we have enough current commissaires to run this year's schedule., which is fine for this year but does not bode well for the future. It is imperative that we continue to train commissaires so we have officials for our races. To accomplish this we have three options before us:
  1. Continue with our one current commissaire who is qualified to teach new commissaires
  2. Look to bring in out-of-province commissaires to train new commissaires
  3. Send one of our commissaires to get the qualifications to train new commissaires
Both #'s 2 and 3 are costly and our budget's are tight. I am inclined to go with #3 - thoughts?

    I actually think we may have a huge shortage this year already as many of our current commissaires.

    We obviously need to have another commissaire trained. Option 3 makes sense if we can find the money...

    I was told that we should be alright. We might still run a course mid season - not ideal, but that's they way it came out this year.

    We are looking into option #3 and feel that it is the way to go.
