Addendum to Competition Chair responsibilites:
Each year the Indiana Division collects monies from the race sponsors to
maintain the traveling Indiana State Championship
trophies. This money averages out to about $100 - $125 per year.
This money represents the maximum amount that can be
spent on a yearly basis without authorization from a full membership vote
at a Spring or Fall meeting. In addition, all expenses
over $50 (excluding the purchase of Mike Grube Memorial Rookie paddler plaques)
must be presented for full membership vote.
In the event that a trophy needs to be refurbished or replaced due to damage
or loss, the following policy shall be abided by.
Before any major expenses are incurred by the division, the competition chair
shall solicit sponsors from the membership. This
should be done during the normal Spring or Fall meetings. The intent
is to allow individuals, groups and/or clubs to privately
sponsor refurbishment or replacement of a traveling trophy. Only after
ample solicitation has occurred should the competition
chair bring up the issue of trohpy repair or replacement to the membership.
