PNBOA President Tim Gately SOWB President Noel Bourke SOWB Member Mile Lloyd PNBOA Member Kent Binning

Reached out to Spokane Group who already successfullyconsolidated and Snohomish who are in the process ofconsolidating.

Nothing is set in stone! What we are presenting is whatwe think would be best for both organizations. It is awork in process.

We are looking for member input.

Overview Why Consolidate? Benefits Concerns What would a new organization look like? Assigning & Working Games Lists & Evaluations

What you will be voting on in January 2012 Goals for 2012 if Consolidation Initiative is approved Questions there will be an opportunity to ask questions at

the end


4/12

Why Consolidate Survey of both Memberships showed a desire to do some sortof consolidation

Both Organizations do similar things Recruiting Training, Meetings, Assign Games, Officiate Games, Bill

Customers, Pay Officials, Evaluate Games, Have Varsity/JV Lists

Only real difference is one group officiates Boys Basketballand the other officiates Girls Basketball

174 of 283 total officials already work JV/Varsity in bothorganizations

41 of 85 PNBOA Varsity list 57 of 72 SOWB Varsity list 44 of 62 PNBOA Non-Varsity list 32 of 64 SOWB JV list


5/12

Benefits Would put more $ in officials pockets by providing

more game opportunities and less assessments

Would give officials more flexibility and less gameassignment administration

Would simplify managing WOA Rosters Would be easier for schools and leagues to deal

with just one organization

Would reduce overhead costs Would alleviate PNBOA and SOWB from having to

pay possible B&O back taxes


6/12

Concerns Total one time cost of $10k-$15k to implement

consolidation

Includes attorney fees to create legal documents, filingsfees and other expenses

Some officials may not work as many games asthey are used too or feel like they arent working thelevel of competition they deserve.

Potential unforeseen legal issues Assignor role changes Take longer than expected


7/12

What would Consolidation

look like? New Name Single Board of Directors One Set of Dues One Set of Trainings/Meetings One Website


8/12

Game Assignments

Currently assign over 21,000 games between bothorganizations

Role of assigning will not be a one person job withConsolidation

Officials will continue to have the option of workingBoys only, Girls only or both


9/12

Ranking Lists &

Evaluations

2 Varsity Lists 2 JV Lists Evaluations on Boys games will only count for

Boys lists

Evaluations for Girls games will only count forGirls lists


10/12

You will be voting on

January 2012 to Allow the exploratory process of Consolidation to move

forward

Authorize the organizations to spend the time, moneyand effort to nail down the specifics on consolidating the

organizations based on the preceding model

This includes Creating new governing documents Addressing the financial impact Legal implications

A majority vote of approval in January 2012 allows theexploratory process to move forward.

This vote of approval DOES NOT mean the Consolidationis a done deal


11/12

Goals for 2012 ifConsolidation Initiative is

approved Address the financial and legal issues involved. This will

take time to do and will have the biggest impact on thetimeline.

Update Members monthly with the specifics so everyonewill have all the information available when voting inJanuary 2013.

January 2013 Members of each organization will voteon dissolving their current organization and becomingpart of the new joint organization.

Requires 2/3 majority of each membership to makeconsolidation happen!

If passed in 2013, Consolidation would take affect bythe beginning of the 2013/2014 season.
