Annual General Meeting A Success!

Parents were in attendance today for the 1st annual AGM for St. Pauls Soccer Association and the Elite Academy FC.

We were able to make a few appointments within the club today, and were able to secure the services of a few good parents who have committed their time to help make our program grow in our community and better serve our children and players.

All of the agenda items were covered as shown earlier, and after a short discussion of the previous U18 boys season, the current budget, and future plans for the U15 and U18 fall teams, 2 members were elected to the Board of Directors, and we were able to secure a member in our Sponsorship Committee.

Don and Marsha Brown are the first newly elected members of our Board of Directors.  Their son, Steven, was a senior on the boys team this high school season as well as a player on the boys U18 Elite FC team this Spring.  The Brown's have been tremendous advocates for soccer abroad, as well as in the St. Pauls HS community.  We are very proud to have them as part of our Board of Directors and we are privileged to have people as members of our team who are as committed to the youth and the game as much as we are.

On the Sponsorship Committee, Mr. Ismael Ordonez offered his services to help secure sponsorship's for the teams we have at the Elite Academy FC.  Through relationships he has developed with business owners in the community, we hope to obtain sponsorship's from various businesses in our community that will help lower the costs of participation for our players and families.  Mr. Ordonez will have sponsorship letters in his hands within the next few days and will be going out around the community and mailing letters to local businesses to show the levels that we will have available for sponsorship's.

Other items that were voted on by the Board of Directors and our committee members were to:
- Seek a possible night out on the town inclusion to help recruit players and family members to become a part of our program
- Approval of location for the Elite Academy FC U18 Boys team party for the end of the year
- Approval of a $312 financing of field maintenance for the 2016 season and purchase of topdressing soil
- Discussion of using funds to purchase promotional materials for the 2015/2016 season
- Discussion on possibly upgrading jerseys and kits to Nike Club kits upon securing sponsorship's for club and teams
- Also, approval to add level of sponsorship to include "Sponsor A Single Player" for $115 dollars in a season.  

We will continue to keep everyone posted on the details of our meetings as we are truly a club community and want everyone to feel a part of a growing club.

We are still seeking members to join our club at various levels, so please visit our BOARD OF DIRECTORS PAGE to see the various positions we have available within our organization.

It's important to GET INVOLVED in the club of your hometown.  If you want something big, you have to water it, nurture it, and help it grow!
