Area2J Notice for R35 Volunteers/Parents

Email from Area 2J Area Director, Jose Payne

Hi everyone,

As many of you have heard R35 does not have a Regional Commissioner at this time.  Satheesh Madhathil has agreed to be the interim RC and has been doing a great job leading the Region during the remainder of the Fall season.

Going forward the Region will need to select a new permanent RC. If you are interested in this very important role or know of someone that you would like to nominate please let me know directly.  I would like to speak with all the candidates to make sure that they truly understand what the role entails.  If you are thinking about the role but would like to know more about about I'd be happy to speak with you and answer whatever questions you may have.  The goal is to have the new RC elected before the end of December.

In general the RC is the executive member from Region 35 and represents the region at the table during Area meetings.  As an executive member of AYSO, the RC attends the annual national meeting where new proposals are voted on and where the members of the National Board are elected.  The RC along with the regional board members plan the season for the region insure that the regional goals are met.  The RC would specifically insure that the regional goals are in line with the established AYSO guidelines and by-laws.  As I said, I would like to meet with anyone interested and provide more detail and answer any questions.

The process for this election would be the following...
1.  Nominations would be received.
2.  The Area Director (me) would speak with the candidates about the role.
3.  All the candidates would attend a Regional Board Meeting and they would present their case for being the next RC.  This would be a question and answer session.  The Q & A session would be chaired by the interim Assistant RC, Mahesh Bhagat will not be one of the candidates for the permanent role.
4.  Once step 3 is completed, the candidates would be dismissed and the Regional Board will discuss the various candidates.
5.  At the end of step 4 the Regional Board would cast their votes and the winner will be decided by a simple majority vote.  Note that I as the AD will not be a voting member.

I know that there have been allot of ups and downs recently since you lost the previous RC.  I have spoken 1 on 1 with many of you and I know that there are many things that either need to be fixed or that you would like to simply see handled differently.  What I am asking is that you help get R35 to where you believe it should be.  Be a part of the solution and help us get the Region going again.  You can help by leading the Region as the new RC or by being a part of the board and helping that new RC.

Thank you for your time.
