Team Camp Official Needed

by Perry Smith

The Central Dakota Officials Association is coordinating officials for a team camp in June in Wilton ND in June of 2024. Contact Ken Hoff for questions at 701-391-6211 for dates and specifics. As the Past President of this BB Association, we are proud to have been asked to coordinate this event in an attempt to offer games, train, evaluate and provide some financial award for officials who want to participate and improve their skills. Also, as a current member of the North Dakota Official Board (NDOA), my constituents have asked me to run again for the SW representative for another 3 year term to continue to attempt to implement a state-wide official recruitment program, a comprehensive training/mentoring program for officials, an objective evaluation system and to develop an objective system in the selection of post-season play for officials When inquiring about my desire to apply and provide an application to the selection committee, I was told by Justin Fletchock that I do not qualify to run for the opening in the SW Region of ND due to my home address not in the Boundaries of the Current NDOA bylaws. I have not moved for 30 years. When I requested a Special NDOA meeting to discuss this issue, the NDOA Board President and current members did not approve to have a Special meeting to discuss the sudden change/decision not to allow me to run. I want my constituents to be informed of why I have been denied to run for my second term for the SW Representative after being approved/allowed for the past three years without an address change. I want to thank everyone for their support over the past 45 years in the Officiating Hobby. I will stay as an active fan in the sport as I have invested my years of service for Basketball 41 years, Football for 25 years and Volleyball for the past 5 years. If anyone would ever have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 701-471-2033. Take care and stay healthy. Thanks for your support. PERRY SMITH
