Minutes: The following minutes were approved as distributed: o September 15, 2017 – Aquatics Coordinating Board o September 17, 2017 – Board of Trustees o October 30, 2017 – FINA Bureau Succession Conference Call MSP Sheehan 2. USAS Code of Regulations & Policies Update: Secretary Longmire briefly discussed the 6 topics that will be considered by the working group. July 2nd is the deadline for NGBs to submit Code revision proposals for consideration by the working group. August 1st all Code and Policy recommendations will be distributed to the NGB Presidents/Chairmen for discussion with their respective Board of Directors. All recommended revisions will be approved at the USAS Board of Trustees meeting in September at the USAS Convention. 3. FINA World Aquatics Day: If an NGB is interested in participating, information should be sent to Laurette for submission to FINA. B. TREASURER’S REPORT: Treasurer Boak shared financial statements and noted that USAS is in a good financial position. The Balance Sheet shows a reduction and Net Assets have increased due to an increase in Net Revenues from Convention. It was moved, seconded and approved to accept the Treasurer’s report. MSP P. Miller President McFarland asked if a financial rebate should be shared with the NGBs. It was suggested, and agreed to, to hold off on making that decision until outstanding items, like Convention future, are addressed in September. A formula would need to be created, but those who need the most may get the least. Additionally, what is a baseline reserve needed to continue USAS operations? Treasurer Boak reported that an Audit has been requested and is in process. The annual 990 filing has been completed. C. PRESIDENT’S REPORT 1. Mission Statement: President McFarland reported the final draft version of the USAS Mission Statement, as crafted by the working group: To serve its member organizations by providing representation and advocacy within the international aquatics federations.

MSP Boak A final recommendation will be made at the ACB meeting for approval at the Board of Trustees meeting on Sunday at the USAS Convention. 2. FINA Bureau Succession Plan – NGB Nominees: The unanimous nominee from each NGB is Janet Evans. The Nominating Committee will contact and talk with Janet about the opportunity. Approval of the USAS nominee for the FINA Bureau will occur at the Board of Trustees meeting on Sunday at the USAS Convention. 3. USAS Convention Update: Next Convention is scheduled for Jacksonville, FL in September 2018. Contractual obligations are in place through 2021. As the USAS Convention is the funding source for Chefs, USAS Luncheons/Dinners and more, if the USAS Convention does not continue where do these funds come from in the future. NGBs are evaluating their involvement in the annual USAS Convention. At this date, there is no specific direction identified from any NGB. President McFarland shared his concerns if the USAS Convention does not continue: o There will still need to be an annual meeting of USAS, o May create or expose a disconnect and a weakening of our collective voice with respect to successes the US has seen in recent years in FINA and UANA, o Leadership and athletes won’t have the ability to interact spontaneously if there is no single location where all can meet, o As heard in the Joint Meeting with CONSANAT, Juan Carlos wants to emulate USAS, and o Limited time to reflect on what we have going for each other. USA Swimming Athlete Representative Weber noted that all should step back and look at the larger picture of USAS, not solely the possible revenue to be gained, and understand the collective influence shared in the international community. On another topic, President McFarland reported that $4,000 has been spent to complete custom programming for continuing USAS registration processing by the Convention Committee. It was moved, seconded and approved to ratify the expenditure to complete the update and upgrade to Windows 10 for convention registration processing. MSP Boak 4. Chef Roles/Responsibilities Update: A questionnaire was issued to each NGB prior to the meeting with only USA Swimming offering a reply. Each NGB is asked to respond to the questionnaire, paying particular attention to: o Accommodations o Departures / Hotel Checkout o Transportation The scouting the Chefs have done in the past has been helpful to master’s participants. It is desired to have this continue with the upcoming World Championships in Gwangju (KOR). Designating a Masters point person would be helpful to the Chefs in gathering desired information and reporting results. Page 2 of 4 5.

  • USMS Liaison & Special Assignments Reports
    USMS SPECIAL APPOINTMENTS & LIAISONS ANNUAL REPORTS AMATEUR SWIMMING UNION OF THE AMERICAS REPRESENTATIVE (ASUA) Jim Miller, MD Mel Goldstein This report is filed on behalf of Mel Goldstein and me who serve as the USAS representatives to Amateur Swimming Union of the Americas (ASUA). We both sit on the ASUA Masters Technical Committee. ASUA was late going forward with their plans for the 2nd Masters Pan American Championships. However, after receiving 5 different bids the Executive Committee of ASUA endorsed San Juan, Puerto Rico as the host and set the competition dates for August 31 through September 3. The Masters Technical Committee Meeting is to be conducted on August 30, which is the same as the warm-up day for the meet. ASUA rotates the presidency every 4 years to a different geographic location within the Americas and Caribbean nations. Thus, ASUA President Mr. Orban Mendoza’s term in office is coming to a close. His successor has yet to be officially announced, but we do know that the next president will come from Canada. Mr. Mendoza established the Masters Pan American Championships, as one of his legacies. Hopefully, this event will continue to expand and serve all athletes in our hemisphere as the participation expands along with the number of aquatic sports being offered. ASUA has a new President, Eldon Godfrey, from Canada. Mr. Mendoza's term was over and it was Canada's turn by the rotation system that ASUA uses. Mr. Mendoza's contributions to ASUA include the expansion of the competition schedule to include Open Water and Masters in the championship schedule.

  • Pan American Games History
    60 Years Ago In Swimming History Prepared by the International Swimming Hall of Fame for the UANA Congress at the XVI Pan American Games Origin of the First Pan American Games The 1st Pan American Games were held in Buenos Aires, Argentina, 25 February-9 March 1951. The Pan American Games' origins were at the Games of the X Olympiad in Los Angeles, United States, where officials representing the National Olympic Committees of the Americas discussed the staging of an Olympic-style regional athletic competition for the athletes of the Americas. At the Pan American Sports Conference held in 1940, it was decided to hold the 1st Pan American Games in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1942 and a Pan American Sports Committee was formed to govern the Games. Avery Brundage, President of the USOC and Vice-President of the IOC, was elected as the first President. However, the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor brought much of the Americas into World War II, thus forcing the cancellation of the 1942 games. A second conference was held in 1948 at the London Olympic Games. Avery Brundage was re-elected as the President of the PASC. It was decided that Buenos Aires would still host the 1st Pan American Games, this time in 1951. Argentine President Juan Peron and his co-leader, Madam Eva Peron (addressing the Opening Ceremonies, above) were the honorary Presidents and were given a special exhibition of synchronized swimming, while Mario Negri, FINA Bureau Vice President and UANA President presided over the aquatic events, which were held at the Institute of Technical Research, Ministry of Public Works.

In looking back over 2017-2018, there are two themes that come to mind: growth and collaboration. In last year’s annual report, it was noted that a “series of bold strategic decisions [to] take us in a new aligned and purposeful direction” were on the horizon. These strategic actions significantly shaped the year. Much of our work was focused on implementing or revising key foundational process- es and programs, critical for us as we move forward as an organization to achieve our 2016-2024 Strategic goals. From commencing the process of better aligning oper- ations, policies and procedures, to developing a better understanding of roles and responsibilities within our organization, and thinking differently about how we collec- tively approach athlete development from grassroots to high performance, the orga- nization has worked together to lay the groundwork for our future. With our Vision “to be a world leading nation in artistic swimming” firmly in place, and our three strategic JUDI ENNS BRADETTE JACKIE BUCKINGHAM priorities top of mind, here are some highlights from 2017-18: President Chief Executive Officer Strategic Objective 1 - Align and Strengthen our organizations Align ourselves effectively on shared goals and priorities • Implemented new committee structure including standing and operational committees.
