· Dr. McAndrews, Hapkido delegate talked about the self-defense seminars and the workshops the Hapkido club has provided in 2017.
· Master Scoggins, Judo delegate, reported that Judo numbers are back up. Park Hills in Des Moines has good attendance, Sioux City is good, although they are in need of some active juniors and Dubuque is struggling a bit but working hard. He felt social media could be incorporated. He also reminded the association that the National Judo Championship are coming up and are being held in Ames. They have 150-160 potential competitors. Excellent numbers.
· Master Hamann gave the Taekwondo report. He shared that the players from Iowa at the U.S. Open, Iowa Qualifiers and local tournaments are representing Iowa well. The MCTC Midwest Tournament is coming up.
T.N. made a motion to accept the reports and Carrie Voorhees seconded. Motion carried. Acting President, Master Voorhees asked the delegates to submit their reports in writing.
Master Shane Johnson, Scoreboards’ Chair, reported that two scoreboard systems have been sold to Tiger TKD and the remaining two are in storage. There was discussion that Farrell’s may be interested in those two. The Ringmaster is no longer viable so our Scoreboard Chair is no longer a necessary position.
It was also determined that with the updated changes/additions to our web program, Wild Apricot, a Webmaster is no longer necessary as the website is low maintenance. Master Tellinghuisen was willing to step down.
Master Scoggins made a motion to accept the committee chair reports and Dr. McAndrews seconded. Motion carried.
L. Voorhees presented an amendment to the ByLaws regarding disposition of assets for immediate action. The amendment modification to ByLaw, Article IV. Members, Section 4.4 “Powers of Members” subsection 1, was proposed to read, “and/or the sale, lease, exchange, or disposition of property/assets of the SIBBA totaling more than $12,000 for the calendar year.” A motion to accept this modification was made by Master Scoggins, seconded by Dr. Carmichael. The motion carried.
