CLUB DIRECTORS MEETING NOTES

The notes from the Club Directors Meeting held on 10/29/19 at McKinley High School - Hirata Hall are posted below.

MEMBERSHIP FEE INCREASE

At the end of August, we were advised that USA Volleyball would be increasing its membership fee as a result of upcoming transition of the current Membership Management System (MMS) over to SportsEngine and related processing fees along with increased insurance costs.  The Region will also be incurring additional administrative expenses.

The new MMS (SportsEngine) is being planned for a 2020 roll-out and is expected to aid both USA Volleyball and the Regions with its programs and options.  Regions who do not opt-in (MMS) will be assessed a higher fee and increasing modifications (self-absorbed) to meet the new MMS requirements.

In lieu of a staggered increase, it was decided that we should absorb the cost with a single increase.  Effective September 1, 2019, the membership fee will be adjusted to accommodate the increase.  The Adult membership will be $62.00 and the Junior Membership will be $58.00.  It should be noted that despite the increase, AH membership fees is still in the median range of the other 46 USAV regions.

We would also like to advise that effective January 2020, the USA Volleyball Background screening fee will increase from $20.00 to $31.00.  Also initiated this past May was the requirement that players turning 18 during the 2019-2020 season will be required to secure SafeSport Certification along with a background screening.

Please email Kent Ma (Aloha Region Commissioner & Registrar) at usaaloha@aol.com if you have questions or concerns.
