We would like to invite you to attend the Summer Meeting of the MAHA Board of Directors. This year’s meeting will be held at Shanty Creek Resort in Bellaire, Michigan, on July 7-10, 2016. The summer meeting is a great opportunity to network with other association presidents and hockey leaders from around the state to get new ideas and find solutions to help make your local program better.

Each year we continue to expand the number of sessions designed to help your association grow and improve your youth hockey programs. Our Association Development Workshops begin at 10 a.m. on Friday and continue into the evening. We also will have a few sessions on Saturday afternoon.

On Friday, our Keynote address will be Adults and Children in Organized Sports – Who Wins, Who Loses? by Bob Bigelow. Bob’s mission is to put youth back in youth sports. Bob has also written a book title Just Let the Kids Play. We think you will find his talk engaging, provocative and enjoyable.

 We also have sessions planned on handling association discipline, concussions, our new goalie development initiative and a roundtable discussion on the recommendations from Task Force 2018.

 From a technology perspective, we will be launching USA Hockey’s Club Excellence, which will be a free web-based portal that will provide association with timelines, information and tools to help coaches and administrators be more successful in their association positions. We also will have a presentation on a new technology that can help you take your association paperless while maintaining all the required records and reports.

 As you can see, we have lots geared toward helping you make your association better. We hope you will consider attending or sending a representative from your association.
