The Committee approved the following positions:
- It was approved to create a Mountain/Ultra/Trail Council
(MUT) and add it to the Long Distance Running Division (Article 16).
- It was approved to move Masters Track & Field from the
General Competition Division to the High Performance Division - which shall be
named the High Performance/Track & Field Division (Article 16).
- It was approved to move Men’s and Women’s Race Walking
from the High Performance Division to the General Competition Division
(Article 16).
- It was approved to make the following committees
councils: Men’s Track & Field, Women’s Track and Field, Masters Track & Field,
Men’s Long Distance Running, Women’s Long Distance Running, Masters Long
Distance Running, and Cross Country. Mountain/Ultra/Trail is already a
council. Council Chairpersons would be non-voting members of the Executive
Committee. Therefore, they would not be counted toward a quorum (Article 16).
- It was approved that the three High Performance / Track
& Field Division’s Councils would, during the odd number years when they elect
their Council chairs, elect a Division chair who would be a member of the
Executive Committee. If the Division chair is unable to attend an Executive
Committee meeting then one of the Council chairs could substitute for
him/her. The Division chair may be, but is not required to be, one of the
council chairs.
- It was approved that the five Long Distance Running
Division’s Councils would, during the odd number years when they elect their
Council chairs, elect a Division chair who would be a member of the Executive
Committee. If the Division chair is unable to attend an Executive committee
meeting then one of the Councils chairs could substitute for him/her. The
Division chair may be, but is not required to be, one of the council chairs.
- It was approved to change Article 10 Executive
Committee B. to read: “The Chairperson of the High Performance / Track &
Field Division, the Chairperson of the Long Distance Running Division, the
Chairperson of the Youth Athletics Committee, and the Chairperson of the Race
Walking Committee. ( 4 persons)”
The meeting was
