Nine teams (Baylor, U of H, UT, A&M, UTSA, Texas State, Texas Tech, UNT, and Gary Job Corps) were present, and all have bought into the new By-Laws. It looks like we have a functional SWIFA now. (Rice did not field a team or send a represenative, but Damaris has located someone who is trying to get their club reorganized.) I have been elected Chairman, Jay Young (Texas Tech) is the Vice-Chair, Damaris Dotson (Texas State) is the Treasurer, and Amy Crawford (Texas State) stepped up to be the Secretary. Officers of SWIFA serve for the year through the elections at the Annual Meeting at SWIFA #4. The By-Laws were accepted with a couple of changes. There will be a change in the rotation system for hosting a SWIFA to provide for a club to "step back" rather than "pass" if they are next in the rotation to host a SWIFA meet, but can't on that date, and could host the next meet (E.g.: If the gym is booked for a cheerleader or basketball camp for a month). The Ops Manual was not voted into place. There is a lot of unnecessary overlap with the By-Laws and some serious conflicts between the two. I will wait until we can get Amy's (official Secretary's) and my (unofficial) notes together to address this at an Executive Meeting which I will call soon. We did come to a consensus on the bout order and pools and DEs format for the SWIFA #1 and this will be the standard for the remaining meets. Article VIII, Section 3 will be revised and will reference the Ops Manual where this will be set out in detail. We are not on the lottery rotation for the SWIFA meets yet. Texas State volunteered for #1 which we just held and UNT volunteered for #2. The rotation will take place for #3 and #4 and thereafter. The EC has to meet to draw the order for the rotation by lottery per the By-Laws (Article VIII, Section 2). We need to do this ASAP so people can be notified and can plan for it. I will be drafting a revised version of the By-Laws and will have Damaris post it on the website soon.
