2 Chair report for Annual meeting We revised the bylaws this year, which were passed at a meeting in November. We have been trying to accomplish this for a few years so it is nice that we were able to accomplish that this year. Much thanks to Conner Bailey and Allison Ware for their efforts. The bylaws are a living document and we will revisit every couple of years to ensure they are kept up to date. As a result of the new bylaws, we are working on finalizing the nomination committee so can we move forward with electronic voting for officers. We worked to improve information posted on our website and started an occasional newsletter this year to help improve communications. As our Sanctions chair noted, we increased the number of pool and open water events this year, and are working on helping to sanction a new open water event and pool event in the Knoxville area. We went from 1 to 4 open water events sanctioned last year, although one was cancelled due to race day water temperatures. We already have sanctioned 2 open water events this year. A third is pending, based on resolving unpaid debt owed from last year s event. We also have inquiries from Memphis so looking forward to helping all of these events come to fruition. New LMSC standards were approved by the LMSC development committee and we achieved all mandatory standards and only fell short on a couple of target standards for One just needs clarification; the other was a financial standard which has since been resolved thanks to other board members chipping in. Unfortunately, due to the fact that many 2016 payments and expenses were not paid, and one being overpaid, we are unable to present the budget for 2017 at this time. However, as soon as we can get the last few paid, we will post on the website after board approval. Please let the Chair know if you have any questions. We have discussed doing a stroke clinic for all members of the LMSC, and are hoping that comes to fruition this year. Auburn will most likely be the location for the inaugural clinic due to its central location and excellent coaches available. As always, we welcome any feedback, questions and comments. Respectfully submitted helen 2

3 Report of the Competition Committee Conner Bailey, Sanction Chair Prepared January 27, 2017 Presented at the annual LMSC meeting on February 11, 2017 at Auburn, AL I serve as a one-person committee. My responsibilities are to assist event directors in getting their events sanctioned or recognized by USMS. I have been doing this job for many years. I am willing to continue but believe we should bring on someone else willing to work with me, learn the ropes, and take over this role. The work is not onerous but it is important and requires a person with an eye for detail. During calendar year 2016, we had eight sanctioned and one recognized SCY meets, one sanctioned LCM meet, and two SCM meets. Four open water events were sanctioned in 2016, one of which was cancelled due to high water temperatures. Of these 16 events, three were in Alabama, two were in Florida, and 11 were in Tennessee. One of the Alabama meets was an intra-squad swim meet (Huntsville). All LCM, SCM, and OW events were in Tennessee. We need to encourage greater participation of teams in Alabama to host events. We are in particular in need of LCM and SCM events. For the calendar year 2017, we have three sanctioned events, two additional known events with sanction requests in progress, and one event pending USMS approval as an OW event.

5 Report of the Top Ten Recorder Judd Jones Prepared January 28, 2017 Presented at the annual LMSC meeting on February 11, 2017 at Auburn, AL As Top Ten Recorder, my responsibilities are twofold, First, to process results from sanctioned and recognized pool meets held in the LMSC, 1. Receive Meet Manager output file from meet director, upload results to USMS database, perform swimmer and relay audit, and if necessary, work with meet director to resolve various issues (e.g. registration irregularities, questions about swims). 2. Confirm pool measurements for meets held in fixed-walls pools; receive pool measurement forms for meets held in bulkhead pools, forward to USMS for review and approval. 3. Check with meet director regarding one-event registrations, if any; hand-off to LMSC Registrar if there were. If not, 4. Report to other LMSC officers when meet results are processed and complete. Second, to prepare individual and relay Top Ten reports for each season (SCY, LCM, and SCM), and submit to USMS before the appropriate deadline (SCY June 30; LCM Oct. 20; SCM Jan. 26). The Top Ten Recorder has no role in open water events. The position requires modest computer skills. During calendar year 2016, we had twelve sanctioned or recognized meets.

13 Registrar Report Chris Powers Prepared February 5, 2017 Presented at the annual LMSC meeting on February 11, 2017 at Auburn, AL As Registrar my duties are to create and update memberships according to rules and regulations set forth in the USMS Rule Book and the USMS National Office Guide to Operations. This includes reporting One Event registrations (OER) and participants to the national office for tracking of conversions to full membership. At this time there have not been any conversions for SE LMSC from OER. Below are the figures as was stand in memberships as of Feb 5 th There have been 29 donor letters generated and 318 cards created. This is about where we stand every year and between now and November we usually add 500 new members. I did see a little uptick in new registrations during the special new membership discount period that will start again in July this year. This is a very good tool for everyone to recruit with. I also occupy the role of Secretary whose main job is to record the LMSC meetings. I was asked to do the monthly deposits by the national office which I accepted that responsibility.

14 Kay Miller Fitness Chair I have not done very much as Fitness Chair for our LMSC. I did get the Pirates to support Fairhope and Fort Walton Beach by going to their swim meets and we had our annual Turkey Dip Swim Meet in Nov. We had a really good swim meet with a good turnout. Shirley Loftus-Charley came down from Virginia and set a National in the 1650 yd. event. We have also been participating in the Go the Distance as well. Barbara Calhoun Webmaster I currently work on the website and the newsletter. The website involves gathering information from meetings (upcoming agendas, minutes from past meetings, newsletters), putting it into the appropriate format, and posting it to the website. Also updating some of the items (top 10, upcoming events, etc.). For someone who knows what they are doing, it would be about 30 minutes a month (on average). For someone who doesn t do it very often, and has to remember how to do it each time they need to do an update, or who is a perfectionist, or who gets sucks into websites, it is probably closer to 90 minutes per month. And for someone who had no idea on the basics of a website, there might be a bit of a learning curve, especially the first several times on the site. The newsletter is published 2-4x/year and involves gathering material to go in it, putting it into some reasonable format, getting feedback from the board, and finalizing it. It would be helpful to have a list of interesting teams with someone willing to write a couple paragraphs about them, so they could be drawn on as needed. AND/OR, a list of interesting topics, with someone willing to write a couple paragraphs about them, so they could be drawn on as needed. The newsletter probably takes about 5 hours to draft, edit, and finalize. (Let me know if anyone at the meeting wants to write something about their team, or swimming, or anything else!) Again, hope everyone has a GREAT weekend! Thanks, Barbara 14

15 There was no Treasurer s report from Allison Ware. She wrote an to the Board saying she would not be attending and that since she did not want to be Treasurer and as a result, the Chair had needed to do the work of Treasurer, that Helen Naylor could make any necessary report. No reports submitted by Coaches chair (Cheryl Richardson) or Open Water chair (Ashley Whitney). 15
