  • “Items of Interest”
    GHSA “Items of Interest” October 2008 GHSA Continues to Move Forward Through Technology Transitions are always challenging, and those involving changes in tech- nology seem to be even more so. The Georgia High School Association continues to move its communication procedures from traditional meth- ods to newer methods. While we do not believe we are “on the cutting edge” of technology by any means, we are trying to move forward. There are three areas that I would like to discuss. 1. GHSA WEB SITE: The GHSA web site (www.ghsa.net) is the primary communication tool used by the association. Statistics indicate that an average of 4,000,000 “hits” occur each month. If you and your staffs are not familiar with this site, please take a look at it and utilize its resources. The Constitution and By-laws are available in a ready-reference form. Information about the association (past, present, and future) is available so that school personnel can find answers to their questions. GHSA forms are available for downloading. Educa- tional materials in the areas of sportsmanship and sports medicine are updated with some degree of regularity. If you have difficulty navigating the web site, please let us know so we can provide the assistance you desire. 2. ALL-SCHOOL EMAILS: There are very few, if any, all-school mailings. Information that amplifies the web site information or information that needs immediate attention from school personnel will be sent to the schools’ designated contact persons. Please be certain that the contact person does check emails periodically and that they distribute the information as needed.

  • November 2008
    GHSA “Items of Interest” November 2008 Volunteers Make the Difference at Playoff Events As I work on a presentation that I will give next week entitled “Planning and Managing Major Events,” I have given a lot of consideration to GHSA playoff events. These issues have been on my mind also because the GHSA is just beginning its fall playoff competitions. It is interesting to think about what makes a great event and what makes an average or below average event. The GHSA office staff members spend a lot of time planning playoff events with the knowledge that everyone who participates or attends will not be totally pleased. Yet there is an attempt to anticipate difficulties and to proactively work around those issues. However, all the good ideas that come out of the GHSA office will not necessarily produce a great event. I have come to the conclusion that the people working at the com- petition site really make the difference. GHSA playoff events generally fall into one of two categories. They are either held with a member school hosting the event, or they are held at a central location with the GHSA providing the staffing. Regardless of the category, the events will succeed to the degree that there are volunteers doing their jobs well. On behalf of the GHSA, I want to take this opportunity to thank the administrators, coaches, and volunteers at our member schools who put in a great deal of work. Coaches tend to think about “home field advantage” while administrators tend to think about all the work that has to be done to host the event.
