I LIKE TO ALSO AT THIS TIME WELCOME JOE TO OUR GROUP.
THE BOARD VOTED LAST MEETING TO HAVE JOE TO JOIN US.
LOOKING FORWARD TO WHAT YOU BRING TO THE GROUP.
AGAIN LIKE I TALKED TO YOU BEFORE, THIS IS A GREAT GROUP TO WORK WITH.
I THINK WHAT WE WANT TO WORKED FOR IS MAKE THIS PROCESS AS GOOD AS WE POSSIBLY CAN.
DID EVERYONE GET A COPY OF THE AGENDA FOR TONIGHT? OKAY.
EVERYONE HAS A COPY OF THE AGENDA.
THE IF YOU DON'T GET IT THROUGH E-MAIL, KAMILAH HAS BEEN SENDING IT OUT FOR ME.
YOU CAN ALSO GO ONLINE AND GET THAT PROCESS, GET IT ALSO.
LOOK UNDER ATHLETIC HALL OF FAME COMMITTEE.
[II. Adoption of Meeting Agenda ]
ALL RIGHT.SECOND ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS THE ADOPTION OF THE AGENDA.
>> MR. JOHNSON, CAN I BREAK IN FOR ONE SECOND.
I DID NOT SEND THIS PROGRAM THROUGH.
SUSAN, WOULD YOU HAPPEN TO HAVE THAT TO SHARE?
>> YEAH, I DIDN'T SEE IT ALSO.
BUT I DID NOT HAVE MINUTES TO POST SO I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAD THOSE OR I MISSED THEM.
I USUALLY SEND THEM RIGHT AFTER THE MEETING.
SHE SENT THEM RIGHT AFTER THE MEETING.
SHE SENT THEM OUT ON THE FIRST OF NOVEMBER.
LET ME STOP MY SHARE SO YOU DON'T READ ALL MY E-MAILS.
CAN ANYONE HEAR ME? WE CAN HEAR YOU.
[III. Approval of Meeting Minutes ]
SO HERE'S THE MINUTES IN CASE ANYONE DID NOT SEE THEM.IF YOU CAN LEAVE AND EVERYONE TAKE A MOMENT TO READ THROUGH THE MINUTES OF
[00:05:15]
OUR LAST MEETING.I WOULD SUGGEST YOU GET OUT AND GO BACK IN.
HOLD RIGHT THERE FOR A SECOND SUSAN.
ON THE PROPOSED MOTION THAT WAS MADE.
THE LANGUAGE WE TALKED ABOUT TO PUT IN THERE AND THAT IS CORRECT, IN ORDER TO BE NOMINATED FOR CONSIDERATION FOR THE HALL OF FAME CLASS, ALL THE APPLICATIONS MUST BE SUBMITTED BY JANUARY 31ST OF EACH YEAR.
WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR SPECIFICALLY?
>> SPECIFICALLY WE TALKED ABOUT, HOLD A SECOND.
WE LOOKED AT, I GOT IT IN THE MINUTES.
WHERE WE TALKED ABOUT THE DEADLINE FOR NOMINATION WAS JANUARY 31ST.
THERE WAS A MOTION TO CHANGE THE -- THERE'S A SECOND MOTION THERE TO CHANGE THE BY LAWS FROM NOMINATION SHOULD BE SUBMITTED BY MARCH 31 TO JANUARY 31ST.
THAT'S WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR.
>> THAT SAYS THAT, YEAR OF INDUCTION.
DIRECTS ME WHERE TO GO FROM THIS POINT FORWARD.
ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THE MINUTES? COULD I HAVE A MOTION FOR APPROVAL, PLEASE.
>> MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE MINUTES.
ANY DISCUSSION? CHANGES? OKAY.
HEARING NONE, ALL IN FAVOR RAISE YOUR HAND.
I THINK THAT WOULD BE EASIER RIGHT NOW.
COMMUNICATIONS, SUSIE SAID WE HAVE ONE GUEST WITH US.
[IV. Communications and Addresses to the Advisory Committee ]
HIS NAME IS DAVID MANSKI AND I APOLOGIZE IF I'M MISPRONOUNCE HIS NAME.
YOU CAN TALK IF YOU WOULD LIKE.
I'M ACTUALLY A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT FROM THE CHICAGO AREA.
>> AND I ATTEND THIS MEETING TO WORK ON ONE OF MY AP U.S.
IT'S A PROJECT WE HAVE WHERE WE ATTEND A SCHOOL BOARD MEETING OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT AND THEN WE OBSERVE I GUESS THE POLITICS OF IT AND THEN WE'RE SUPPOSED TO WRITE A PAPER ON IT.
I WOULD LIKE TO LOOK IN AND SEE WHAT YOU GUYS ARE DOING TONIGHT.
>> SO THIS IS AN ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETING SO YOU WON'T SEE A LOT OF POLITICS HERE.
BUT, YOU WILL SEE A LOT OF DISCUSSION BUT YOU'RE WELCOME TO JOIN IN A SIMILAR WAY TOO WE HAVE A DECEMBER 16TH ONE IF YOU REALLY WANT TO SEE POLITICS.
THAT'S THE ONLY COMMUNICATION THERE.
[V.1. Selection of Screaming Committee Members and lead person]
OLD BUSINESS ON THE AGENDA.ACTUALLY IS TO SELECT SCREAMING COMMITTEE MEMBERS AND ALSO SELECT A LEADER.
LAST YEAR, OF COURSE EVERYONE VOLUNTEERED TO BE A PART OF A GROUP.
AGAIN I'M SORRY I DIDN'T GET THOSE MINUTES.
I WILL TRY TO LIST THE GROUP AND WE WILL COME BACK AND IF YOU LIKE TO BE A PART OF IT.
WE CAME UP WITH THREE CATEGORIES.
ONE WOULD BE THE INDIVIDUAL ATHLETE AND THAT'S PRE-AND POST 1965.
AND THAT'S ALSO PRE-'65 AND POST' 65.
AS AN INDIVIDUAL WE WERE GOING TO SPLIT THAT UP TO PRE-AND POST.
[00:10:08]
AND YOU CAN BE A PART OF SEVERAL COMMITTEES IF YOU LIKE.AND AFTER WE BUILD OUR COMMITTEES, IF SOMEONE WOULD LIKE TO VOLUNTEER TO LEAD.
THE LEAD WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE TO MAKE SURE WE TABULATE AT THE END.
YOU CAN'T DO INDIVIDUAL MEETINGS BUT WE CAN ALSO HAVE DISCUSSION HERE AND I WOULD LOOK AT DOING THAT DURING THE TIME OF JANUARY AND FEBRUARY AS WE LOOK FORWARD TO MAKING OUR FINAL SELECTION.
I GO WITH PRE-'65 INDIVIDUALS.
STATE YOUR NAME AND SO WE CAN MAKE SURE WE HAVE IT IN THE RECORD.
DO WE HAVE ANYONE THAT WOULD LIKE TO VOLUNTEER FOR THE PRE-1965.
I THINK YOU MIGHT NEED TO TELL PEOPLE WHAT THE PRE-AND THE POST IS.
SINCE THE GUY IS UP THERE FROM CHICAGO.
THE PRE-'65 IS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT PRIOR TO TC WILLIAMS HIGH SCHOOL OPENING UP AND GOING INTO, COMING ON BOARD.
THAT INCLUDES ANY HIGH SCHOOL PRIOR TO' 65.
ALEXANDRIA HIGH SCHOOL PRY TO THAT.
WE DO HAVE NOMINATIONS IN THOSE CATEGORIES.
THE POST' 65 FOR ANYONE AFTER WHEN TC ACTUALLY OPENED UP.
THE REASON WHY THE GROUP DECIDED TO DIVIDE THAT BECAUSE THE NUMBERS.
PRE, AGAIN A LOT OF GREAT ATHLETES IN '65, POST '65 AND A LOT OF ATHLETES AND A LOT OF SPORTS.
WE'RE TRYING TO CAPTURE EVERYONE IN THERE.
THE TEAM IS PRE-'AND POST '65.
WE TRY TO NOMINATE SOMEONE TO EACH GROUP EACH YEAR.
THE LAST CATEGORY IS COACHES ADMINISTRATORS AND CONTRIBUTORS.
IN OUR BY LAWS WE HAVE THE PARAMETERS.
THE ONE THING WE TALKED ABOUT A LOT IS MAKING SURE GOING FORWARD THE FINAL WAY TO PUT ON OUR APPLICATION NOMINATION FORM THAT DOCUMENTATION MUST BE ATTACHED.
WHETHER OR NOT IT WOULD BE A NEWSPAPER ARTICLE OR WHATEVER.
I GOT SOME INFORMATION TO SHARE WITH YOU THAT LAY THAT OUT.
I JUST HAVE TO ASK A QUESTION.
I SENT IN A COUPLE OF NAMES AND I FORGOT THE DATE FOR IT TO BE IN.
I SENT IN AN APPLICATION WITHOUT THE DOCUMENTATION.
BUT I CAN GET THE DOCUMENTATION FOR IT.
LET'S LOOK, YOU CAN BRING IT UP ON THE NEW BUSINESS WHEN I ASK THE GROUP.
LET'S TAKE CARE OF THIS PART FIRST AND GIVE YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK ON THAT LATER, OKAY?
>> AND THEN SUSAN GIVES THE UPDATE WHAT APPLICATIONS SHE HAS.
GOING BACK TO LOOKING FOR INDIVIDUALS TO BE A PART OF THE SELECTION COMMITTEES.
DO WE HAVE ANYONE? WE ALL GOT TO BE A PART.
>> 365 INDIVIDUAL DANIELLE THORNE.
DO WE HAVE ANYONE IN THAT GROUP WHO WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THE LEADERSHIP?
>> UNLESS MR. CLARK IS LEANING FORWARD.
I WAS GOING TO NOMINATE DANIELLE THORNE.
[00:15:01]
I GOT DANIELLE HEADING UP THAT GROUP.
THE NEXT WOULD BE THE POST '65.
I WILL DO POST '65 INDIVIDUALS.
>> I WOULD LIKE TO HEAD UP THAT GROUP AGAIN IF YOU CAN.
>> I WOULD LIKE TO BE POST' 65 AS WELL.
>> GOENTD DON'T IS THAT RIGHT -- DON'T START CAMILLE AND TRACY.
SO I HAVE MYSELF HEADING IT UP.
MAKE MICHAEL THE SECRETARY OF THE COMMITTEE.
>> YOU'RE GOING TO BE EVERYBODY.
WE'RE OKAY THERE BY NAMES? GREAT.
I THINK WE CAN COMBINE THOSE TWO.
WE DID PRE-65 AND POST-'65 ALTOGETHER >> THAT WORKED WELL.
THAT'S COMBINATION OF A AND B.
>> I DID NOT BUT I'LL ADD YOU NOW.
ANYBODY ELSE FOR TEAM? BOB TROUT.
MR. TROUT WOULD YOU LIKE TO LEAD THIS GROUP? YEAH.
AND LAST BUT LEAST WOULD BE THE COACHES AND CONTRIBUTORS.
WE HAVEN'T HAD TOO MANY NAMES BUT WE STARTED TO GET MORE.
SO THE COACHES, ADMINISTRATORS AND CONTRIBUTORS.
YOU'RE ACTUALLY NOMINATED, I'M NOT SURE THAT YOU WOULD QUALIFY FOR THAT CATEGORY.
I DON'T KNOW HOW AK, DO YOU WANT TO CHIME IN HERE.
COACH ADMINISTRATOR AND CONTRIBUTOR.
SO I MAY BE, I MAY HAVE TO ABSTAIN MYSELF FROM COACH, BUT ADMINISTRATOR AND CONTRIBUTOR I COULD CONTRIBUTE TO.
>> WE ARE LOOKING AT ONE CATEGORY.
OUT OF THOSE THREE, WE'RE GOING TO COME OUT WITH ONE PERSON NOT FOR EACH POSITION.
SO I THINK IT WOULD BE BECAUSE YOU ARE HAVE BEEN NOMINATED IN THAT GROUP.
ANYONE ELSE? JUST OUT OF CURIOSITY, ARE THE OTHER PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT HERE FOR THIS MEETING,
[00:20:02]
CAN THEY ALSO STILL SIGN UP FOR COMMITTEE?BECAUSE AGAIN, WE WANT EVERYBODY TO PARTICIPATE AND THIS IS A GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO REALLY GO IN DEPTH INTO THE APPLICATION.
>> THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT HERE WE WILL ASK THEM TO ALSO CHOSE A COMMITTEE.
>> I THINK MAYBE THEY DARE DAVE MERCER MIGHT WANT TO BE ON THE PRE-65 SINCE HE WAS IN THAT ERA AND A HAMMOND GRADUATE.
WE DON'T HAVE A WHOLE LOT OF HAMMOND PEOPLE THERE.
>> I WILL TEXT HIM RIGHT NOW, Y'ALL.
IS IT OKAY -- I THINK EVERYBODY IS AT LEAST ON ONE COMMITTEE.
DO WE HAVE MR. PISCIOTTA ON ONE?
WHAT TEAMS, WHAT COMMITTEE AM I ON?
>> PRE-65 INDIVIDUAL WOULD BE DANIELLE IS LEADING THAT UP.
JIM LEWIS, BOB TROUT, JIMMY WARDEN, WAYNE SANDERS.
POST 65 INDIVIDUAL I'M LEADING THAT WITH ANNIKA, MIKE J, JOE P.
BOB TROUT, AK, JOHN LEWIS AND ADMIN AND CONTRIBUTORS, MARK EISENHOWER, TRACY AND BOB TROUT.
>> YOU CAN PUT ME ON THAT THE POST, WHAT WAS THAT TEAMS OR INDIVIDUALS?
>> THE ONE -- THE TEAMS IS COMBINED PRE-65 AND POST 65.
AND I THINK THE ONLY PERSON WE'RE MISSING NOW IS ROBERTA.
I WILL TEXT HER AND FIND OUT WHAT GROUP SHE WOULD LIKE TO BE A PART OF.
>> ANY QUESTIONS? AGAIN THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALL PARTICIPATING AND UNDERSTANDING THE PROCESS.
IT WILL HELP US OUT IN THE LONG RUN.
THERE'S A SCREENING COMMITTEE TO CRANK EVERYBODY FORWARD?
[VI.1. Nomination timelines a. The nominating deadline is January 31, in the year of the induction]
ALL RIGHT.ON THE TIMELINE, FOR UNDER NEW BUSINESS, SUSAN, I SENT THAT DOCUMENT WITH THE MINUTES.
I WANT TO PUT IT UP DRAFT AND TIME TABLE FOR -- >> OKAY.
I MEAN THE LAST MEETING OR WAS THAT IN THE -- >> I SENT THAT TO YOU LAST TUESDAY.
WHEN I SENT -- >> HOW DID I MISS THAT?
>> IT'S ON THE AGENDA POSTED ONLINE.
I'M LOOKING FOR A SEPARATE DOCUMENT.
IS THIS WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR?
WHAT YOU SEE ON THE SCREEN NOW IS A DRAFT OF THE TIME TABLE THAT LOOKED AT AND TRYING TO SUGGEST WHAT WE HAVE DONE IN THE PAST.
BEING THE FACT THE NOMINATION WILL CLOSE AT THE FISCAL YEAR INDUCTION CLASS WOULD BE JANUARY 31ST.
FROM FEBRUARY TO JANUARY 31ST THE NOMINATIONS ARE ACCEPTED.
SO THAT MEANS THAT, THAT GOING FORWARD, THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR THAT WE ARE LOOKING AT.
THESE ARE THE THINGS WE WANT TO DO.
THE THIRD MONDAY IN APRIL, THE FINAL VOTE FROM THE ATHLETIC HALL OF FAME INDUCTEE BY THE COMMITTEE.
AND I THINK IN MAY, AGAIN, I GOT IT RIGHT HERE.
ALSO APPEARING BEFORE THE MAY SCHOOL BOARD MEETING WHERE THEY CAN VOTE ON IT
[00:25:06]
IN MAY.I DON'T KNOW THE DATES OF THE MEETING.
IN THE PAST WE DID THIS IN JUNE.
WE MOVED THE TIMELINE UP TO GIVE US MORE TIME TO PREP TO HAVE IT START WORKING ON IT IN JUNE AS FAR AS GETTING READY FOR THE CEREMONY.
IN MAY, THE SCHOOL BOARD WILL APPROVE THE NOMINEES.
IN JUNE, THE PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT WILL GO OUT AND FROM JUNE TO SEPTEMBER PLANNING AND UPDATE AND CEREMONY.
OCTOBER 2ND SATURDAY OF OCTOBER WOULD BE THE INDUCTION CEREMONY.
HOPE, SUGGEST IT WOULD BE IN THE AUDITORIUM AND MOVE FROM THERE.
THE RECENT INDUCTION CEREMONIES.
RECENT CHANGES AND DO IT AT THAT TIME.
DECEMBER MEETING WILL ESTABLISH AGAIN SCREAMING COMMITTEE GOING FORWARD FOR THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR FOR INDUCTEES.
I'M NOT, THAT'S NOT AN ACTION ITEM BUT TO LOOK AT IT AND BRING IT BACK NEXT MONTH.
WE NEED TO BE READY TO MOVE WITH THAT QUICKLY.
ANY QUESTIONS, SUGGESTIONS? ADDITIONS?
>> I JUST HAVE A QUICK QUESTION.
IS THE HALL OF FAME CEREMONY GENERALLY SCHEDULED AROUND HOME COMING?
BUT WE WANT TO GET AWAY FROM THAT AND HAVE OUR OWN BECAUSE HOMECOMING CAN CHANGE YEAR IN AND YEAR OUT.
SO WE JUST WANT A DESIGNATED DATE THAT WILL ALWAYS BE THE SECOND SATURDAY IN OCTOBER.
SO WE KNOW WHEN IT IS TO PLAN AND EVERYBODY IS GOING TO BE ON THE CALENDAR.
THERE'S NO ANDS OR BUTS ABOUT IT.
I THINK IF IT ACTUALLY FALLS ON HOME COMING WEEKEND.
WE WANT TO DO A FRIDAY NIGHT INDUCTION AT HALF-TIME.
AS FAR AS THE ACTION CEREMONY, IT WOULD BE ON THAT SECOND SATURDAY OF OCTOBER.
THIS IS SOMETHING WE VOTED ON TWO WEEKS AGO.
>> I HAVE A QUESTION OR COMMENT.
CAN YOU JUST GO OVER REALLY QUICKLY WHERE LIKE MR. PISCIOTTA WOULD LOOK AND JUST A REFRESHER FOR EVERYONE ABOUT THE CRITERI FOR THE NOMINATIONS BECAUSE WE CAN OBVIOUSLY NOMINATE PEOPLE BUT SOME PEOPLE GOT THROUGH THAT DIDN'T MEET ALL THE CRITERIA.
SO, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE BINDERS BUT IS THERE A PLACE WHERE MR. PISCIOTTA CAN LOOK TO MAKE SURE HE'S UP ON YOU KNOW, HE KNOWS WHO WE WOULD LIKE TO NOMINATE IF HE DOES NOMINATE SOMEONE HIMSELF?
[VI.2. Support information for the nominee including but not limited to: Newspaper articles/clippings, record set, championships, awards received. ]
>> I CAN SEND MR. PISCIOTTA A LINK TO THE NOMINATION FORM.
AND HE CAN SUBMIT NOMINATIONS THAT WAY.
AND THEN HE'LL, I WILL HAVE TO GET HIM A BINDER AND THEN IF WE CAN, IF I KNOW WE HAVE APPLICATIONS COMING IN THROUGH JANUARY 31ST.
SO I'M JUST THINKING THIS THROUGH.
AT THAT POINT, YOU'LL GET ELECTRONIC COPIES OF THE APPLICATIONS AS WELL.
>> SUSIE, ARE THE BY LAWS ONLINE?
>> THE FILES ARE ON ONLINE AND WE HAVE TO AMEND THEM.
>> BUT THE CRITERIA IS IN THE BYLAWS ONLINE.
JOE, YOU CAN GO ONLINE AND LOOK FOR THE BYLAWS FOR OUR COMMITTEE.
>> I DID FIND EVERYTHING YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT EXCEPT THE BINDER.
FOR ME TO, I WILL HAVE TO MAKE COPIES OF EVERYTHING TO GET TO YOU AND MODIFY SOMEWHAT.
AND THEN EVERYONE WILL GET A NEW PDF OF ALL THE APPLICATIONS AND THEN WE WILL, I CAN GET YOU HARD COPIES FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS THE HARD COPIES.
SO SOMEBODY WHO HAS, IF YOU HAVE AN ATHLETE LET'S SAY WHO WAS NOMINATED BEFORE AND YOU NEED TO UPDATE THEIR INFORMATION.
MAYBE THEY HAVE DONE STUFF SINCE THEN.
[00:30:02]
IS THAT RIGHT SUSAN?>> IT SHOULD BE DONE ON THE APPLICATION AGAIN.
THE REASON IS THAT APPLICATION AND NOMINATION FORM IS OUR STORAGE OF ALL THE INFORMATION ABOUT EVERY ATHLETE.
NOW WE DO GET SOME WHO SEND IN THE APPLICATION BY E-MAIL BUT THEY HAVE WRITTEN OUT AND THEN I HAVE TO GO IN AND PUT IT IN DATABASE SO IT STAYS THERE OTHERWISE WE COULD LOSE AN APPLICATION AND WE DON'T WANT TO DO THAT.
>> I SAW THERE WAS A PLACE ALSO FOR PEOPLE TO DOCUMENT BY PUTTING NEWS ARTICLES OR PICTURES OR THINGS LIKE THAT.
THAT'S ALL DONE ELECTRONICALLY ALSO.
>> IT'S DONE ON THE FORM BUT IF YOU DO HAVE EXTRA THINGS, YOU KNOW, EXTRA, THAT COULD BE E-MAILED TO ME IF YOU HAVE DOCUMENTATION.
BUT YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW IF I NEED TO ADD MORE SLOTS IN THERE FOR PEOPLE TO UPLOAD STUFF.
BUT FOR CERTAIN THINGS I RECOMMEND THAT YOU JUST PDF THEM ALTOGETHER AND UPLOAD THEM AS ONE DOCUMENT AND THEN AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
WE TALKED ABOUT THE FACT THAT WE WERE GOING TO ASK FOR DOCUMENTATION BUT THEY'RE PROBABLY GOING TO START AFTER JANUARY 31ST BECAUSE NOW, YOU KNOW, JUST GOT A MONTH AND PEOPLE ARE NOT GOING TO KNOW THAT.
AS APPLICATIONS COME IN, WE MAY HAVE TO MAKE A CALL AND SAY, WE NEED DOCUMENTATION.
RATHER THAN US LOOKING THROUGH THE PROCESS TO FIND.
THAT WOULD BE A LOT OF WORK THE SCREAMING COMMITTEE COULD DO.
TO MAKE SURE THAT WHAT IS IN WRITING IS SOMETHING WE COULD PUT OUR HANDS ON AND EYES ON.
AND AGAIN, THE LAST MEETING I TALKED ABOUT THE CRITERIA.
SO, THIS CUT STRAIGHT ACROSS THE LINE AND AS FAR AS WHAT WE WANT TO DO AND WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR.
I SAID MANY TIMES WE GOT TO ALSO LOOK AT SOME SPORTS THAT WERE NOT AS IN PRE-OR POST, WERE NOT THERE AND TWO, THEY WERE EXCELLENT HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETES AND MAY HAVE MADE ALL CONFERENCES BUT NEVER MADE ALL REGION BECAUSE THE NATURE OF THE SPORT BUT THEY WERE GREAT ATHLETES ON THEIR TEAM.
THAT'S SOMETHING WE HAVE TO LOOK AT AS WE GO THROUGH THE PROCESS.
NOT EVERYONE IS GOING TO MAKE ALL.
BUT WE HAVE TO LOOK AT THE BASIS AND GOES BACK TO MAKING THE CHECK LIST >> THAT'S SOMETHING I WILL WORK ON TO TRY TO HELP EVERYONE ALSO TO MAKE IT JUST TO CHECK AND BALANCE.
TALK ABOUT THE AGENDA AND THE SUPPORT INFORMATION.
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO GOING FORWARD.
NEWSPAPER CLIPPINGS OR ARTICLES.
SOMEONE SET A RECORD CHAMPIONSHIP OR SOME SPECIAL AWARDS WE NEED TO LOOK AT.
THE NOMINATION FORM WITHOUT SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED.
[VI.3. A nomination form without supporting documentation will not be considered by AHOF Committee. ]
AGAIN THAT WOULD HAVE TO START AFTER JANUARY 31ST BECAUSE THERE'S NOT ENOUGH TIME TO GET IT OUT TO MAKE THE CHANGE.IT'S SOMETHING SUSAN MAY HAVE TALKED ABOUT ON THE APPLICATION.
NEXT YEAR WE WILL MAKE THE NOTATION GOING FORWARD AFTER JANUARY FIRST, 31ST RATHER THAT WE INCLUDE THAT STATEMENT IN THE PROCESS.
SECOND, GOING TO THE NEXT AGENDA ITEM.
[VII.1. School Board AD Hoc subcommittee meeting ]
CHAIR REPORT.AND AS THE CHAIR, I WAS INVITED LAST MONTH TO THE SCHOOL BOARD AD HOC COMMITTEE MEETING.
MARK EISENHOWER ATTENDED WITH ME.
THE LAST TIME OUT, SUSAN SENT THE SURVEY OUT AND THANK YOU FOR THOSE WHO PARTICIPATED.
ONE OF THE THINGS I PICKED UP OUT OF THE SURVEY WHEN I GOT A REVIEW OF WHAT WAS SAID FROM THE DIFFERENT COMMITTEES.
OUR COMMITMENT WE GOT TO LOOK AT A FOUND WHAT ARE CALLED CHEAT SHEET FOR ROBBINS RULES.
WE HAVE AN IDEA HOW TO MAKE A MOTION AND DO CERTAIN THINGS WITHIN THE COMMITTEE.
WHAT I DON'T WANT TO MAKE THIS A LONG DRAWN OUT AND EVERYBODY TALKING TO EVERYONE.
I FOUND A CHEAT SHEET AND I WILL TRY TO E-MAIL IT OUT TO EVERYONE TOMORROW TO LOOK AT AND KEEP THEIR HAND IN IT AS WE GO FORWARD SO WE ALL KNOW TRY TO KEEP THIS ON THE SAME PAGE AND MOVE FORWARD AND DON'T BECOME BOGGED DOWN TALKING ABOUT ONE ITEM TOO LONG OR SOMETHING NOT ON THE AGENDA AND WASTING TIME.
THERE'S SOMETHING THAT WE GOT TO CONTINUE TO DO.
OUTREACH TO FIND OTHER PEOPLE TO NOMINATE.
SHOULD NOT ALWAYS COME FROM US.
WE WANT TO PASS SOME OTHERS INDIVIDUAL THAT WE KNOW OF.
[VII.2. Assist with outreach and solicit nominations from the community ]
SOMEONE THAT'S NOMINATED.REACH OUT TO MALES AND FEMALES.
[00:35:01]
AK.SO TRYING TO FIND THE INFORMATION FOR LAST YEAR'S MAKE SURE IT WAS ACCURATE
>> THE BEST INFORMATION COMES FROM THE ATHLETE THEMSELVES.
YOU KNOW IT'S GOOD TO REACH OUT TO THE ATHLETE.
>> ESPECIALLY WHEN WE GET TO THE POINT WE HAVE VOTED AND WE'RE GOING TO NOMINATE SOMEONE TO BE, TO THE BE INDUCTED THAT WE NEED TO REACH OUT.
CAN YOU GIVE PEOPLE DOCUMENTATION? THIS IS ONE TIME YOU NEED TO PUT BACK TO THE SCREAMING COMMITTEE TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION.
JUST WANTED TO SEE IF SUSAN COULD PUSH SOMETHING OUT IN THE COMMUNICATIONS SO WE CAN YOU KNOW MAKE SURE WE COVER ALL BASIS AND GET MORE PRESS OUT THERE ON GETTING NOMINATIONS IN BECAUSE PEOPLE THAT DO FOLLOW IT, YOU KNOW ARE STILL LOOKING AT IT'S GOING TO BE MARCH 31ST.
WITH THE DATE BEING MOVED UP, WE NEED TO PUSH THIS A LITTLE HARDER.
>> I CAN PUT SOMETHING ON OUR WEB PAGE TOO.
>> DO YOU THINK JULIA OR THE COMMUNICATIONS TEAM WOULD PUSH SOMETHING OUT FOR US SUSAN?
>> I WILL ASK THEM AND DO THE E-MAIL AND SEE WHAT RESPONSE I GET.
AND I KNOW WE RAN INTO PROBLEMS WITH OUR LAST COMMUNICATIONS TEAM BUT YOU KNOW THIS IS A NEW TEAM AND YOU KNOW WE CAN GET ACQUAINTED WITH THEM EARLY SO THEY CAN YOU KNOW, KNOW THE IMPORTANCE OF GETTING THIS INFORMATION OUT FOR US.
I BELIEVE WE COULD GET IT IN THE EXPRESS AND INSIDER.
>> WE WOULD LOVE IF WE COULD GET A LITTLE BUTTON FROM THE MAIN PAGE.
>> WE CAN DO STUFF ON OUR SCHOOL BOARD PAGE.
OUR ATHLETIC HALL OF FAME PAGE AND WE CAN PUT STUFF IN THERE.
I WILL PUT AN ANNOUNCEMENT ON THERE WHICH I CAN DO AND THEN I WILL REACH OUT TO THEM ABOUT INFORMATION FOR SEND THEM INFORMATION FOR PUTTING IT IN EXPRESS AND INSIDER.
>> >> MAYBE ALSO CHECK, ATTACH THE LINK TO THE WHERE THE APPLICATION IS.
THIS IS JANUARY 1ST IS OUR DEADLINE FOR THE INCOMING CLASS.
ANY ANNOUNCEMENT FROM ANY MEMBERS?
[VIII. Announcements by Members ]
>> HEY,A K, I HAVE, I DON'T KNOW IT'S A SITUATION OR NOT.
I HAVE BEEN DOING RESEARCH ON THE POST GW HAMMOND AND PARKER GRAY.
I FOUND INFORMATION ON A LOT OF PEOPLE BUT HOW DO WE GET IN CONTACT WITH THOSE PEOPLE?
>> SO WE HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE NOMINATED WHO ARE DISEASED.
SO IT'S REALLY DIFFICULT TO VERIFY.
SOME YOU CAN FIND ARTICLES FOR.
I KNOW THERE'S A GENTLEMEN WHO GRADUATED FROM GW AND I USE HIM AS AN EXAMPLE BECAUSE WE HAVE A LOT OF DOCUMENTATION FROM HIM.
THERE'S ALL KINDS OF ARTICLES ABOUT HIM.
>> THAT'S THE ONE, THAT'S FUNNY, THAT'S THE ONE I WAS TALKING ABOUT.
>> WE HAVE A NOMINATION FOR HIM ALREADY WITH DOCUMENTATION AND STUFF.
BUT, IT'S THE PRE--- >> HE WAS FROM PARKER GRAY.
>> LIKE THE PRE-INTERNET IS REALLY HARD.
>> JERRY FOUEL HAD AN UPDATE THING ON HIM.
TRACY, YOU HAD A QUESTION EARLIER THAT YOU WANTED TO BRING UP.
>> PLEASE REMIND ME WHAT I WAS SAYING.
>> I THINK YOU WERE ASKING ABOUT APPLICATIONS AND WHETHER OR NOT -- >> YEAH,
[00:40:02]
BECAUSE YOU DON'T, BECAUSE OF THE INFORMATION, NOW I KNOW I SENT IN A COUPLE NAMES BECAUSE I THOUGHT THE DATE WAS COMING TO AN END SOON.BUT IT'S NOT UNTIL JANUARY 31ST.
BUT, THE PEOPLE WHO I SENT IN THEIR NAMES, AND A COUPLE OF TEAMS, I DIDN'T HAVE THE INFORMATION TO ATTACH TO IT.
SO CAN I GO BACK AND ATTACH EVERYTHING OR SEND IT TO YOU SUSAN?
WELL YOU CAN SEND IT TO ME AND I CAN GO IN AND ATTACH IT.
BUT IF YOU HAVE MORE INFORMATION, I PREFER YOU GOING TO THE APPLICATION AND DO A SECOND APPLICATION BECAUSE YOU'LL GET BOTH.
YOU WILL GET ALL THE APPLICATIONS UNDER THAT PERSON.
AND NOT THROWING SHADE OR ANYTHING, CAN WE ALL NOT MAKE THIS PERSONAL THIS GO AROUND AND JUST GO FOR WHO DESERVES EVERYTHING THAT THEY GET? OR THE TEAMS.
I DON'T THINK AT ANY TIME THAT I HAVE BEEN ON THIS COMMITTEE ANYBODY MADE IT PERSONAL.
I WOULD LIKE TO SAY WE ALL HAVE BEEN VERY PROFESSIONAL AND WE MAY NOT AGREE AT ALL TIMES AND I ALSO THINK THAT AS LONG AS WE FOLLOW THE CRITERIA USING THAT AS OUR GUIDE, WE CAN'T CAUSE ANY HARM AND CAN'T GO AGAINST DOCUMENTATION.
CAN'T GO AGAINST WHAT IS IN THERE WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE INDIVIDUALS HAVE MET THAT QUALIFICATION.
THE PROCESS WE DID LAST YEAR WAS REALLY FAIR.
WE HAD A SCREAMING COMMITTEE AND WE DID MORE IN THE COMMITTEE NOW TO MAKE SURE WE GOT ALL OF THE INFORMATION THAT SO WE MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICES.
I HOPE THAT WE WON'T PUT ANY PERSONAL FEELINGS IN THE PROCESS.
I FEEL GOOD, I DON'T THINK I SEE THAT.
>> WE HAVE GOTTEN FEEDBACK BEFORE ABOUT NOT SELECTING PEOPLE AND ONE OF THE THINGS YOU KNOW AK HAS PUT OUT THERE IS A RATING SHEET.
I REALLY THINK WE NEED TO RATE THAT SHEET SO WHEN NOMINATIONS COME THROUGH, THE ONES WHO ARE MORE LIKE GOING TO GET NOMINATED RISE TO THE TOP AND IT'S YOU KNOW, SO I THINK THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL IF WE GO THROUGH AND DO THAT PROCESS.
I THINK SOMETIMES WE'RE PICKING PEOPLE WHO WERE GREAT ATHLETES AND IGNORING PEOPLE WHO WERE BETTER ATHLETES AT TIMES.
THE ONE THING THAT'S DIFFICULT ABOUT THIS COMMITTEE FOR EVERYONE IS THEY ALL KNOW SOME PEOPLE AND THEY KNOW THEY WERE GREAT ATHLETES.
SO, IT'S HARD TO IGNORE THAT WHEN YOU'RE MAKING CHOICES.
I THINK THE RATING SHEET WOULD BE REALLY HELPFUL.
>> AGAIN, JUST BLACK AND WHITE.
WE HAVE SOMETHING WE CAN FALL BACK ON SAYING THIS PERSON MET ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE OF OUR CRITERIA.
THAT PERSON SHOULD BE AND WHEN WE GET TO THE VOTING PROCESS, WE HAVE TO DO THE SAME THING.
WE LOOK AT NAMES FROM THE SCREAMING COMMITTEE.
ONCE WE HAVE THE NAMES, WE HAVE TO GO BACK AND DO OUR PART AND MAKE SURE WE'RE GOING TO MAKE THE FINAL VOTE TALLEY WE USE THE SAME CRITERIA IN DOING THAT.
AND I THINK WE HAVE DONE A GOOD JOB.
>> YOU GUYS HAVE DONE AN EXCELLENT JOB.
I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW, WE SOMETIMES GET CALLS.
IT COULD BE FROM THE PARENT OF THE ONE WHO DIDN'T GET ACCEPTED.
IT'S JUST WOULD BE NICE TO MAKE IT LIKE A LITTLE BIT LIKE SOMEONE SAID LESS EMOTIONAL AND MORE STATISTICAL.
AND AK, I JUST WANT TO SAY, THIS SCHOOL BOARD, VERY, VERY HAPPY WITH YOU BE THE WAY THINGS ARE GOING, THE CHANGES THAT THE COMMITTEE HAS MADE.
THE INDUCTION CEREMONY THAT HAPPENED FOR THE 2020-2021 ATHLETES.
IT'S JUST WE'RE MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
SO I'M JUST VERY APPRECIATIVE OF ALL THE WORK THAT EVERYONE IS DOING AND YOU KNOW, LET'S JUST KEEP MAKING IT BETTER.
THAT'S AGAIN, THAT'S WHAT WE ALL WANT TO ACHIEVE.
THE ONE THING WHEN I MET WITH THE SCHOOL BOARD, I FORGOT TO ASK AND I TALKED
[00:45:02]
TO MARK E.WE MAY HAVE TO GO TO A POINT WHERE WE HAVE TO DO THAT FIRST YEAR THEY HAD, I CAN'T REMEMBER.
>> I THINK WE MAY HAVE TO GO TO A POINT WHERE WE HAVE A BIG.
IT'S GOING TO CONTINUE TO EXPLODE AND THERE'S A LOT OF DESERVING ATHLETES OUT THERE WHO HAVE NOT BEEN NOMINATED AND THERE'S A LOT OF IN THE GROUP RIGHT NOW, IN THE BOOKS RIGHT NOW THAT IS WORTHY OF BEING INDUCTED.
WE MAY HAVE TO DO, ASK FOR A BIG GROUP ONE MORE TIME SO THAT WE CAN COME BACK INTO A SMALLER NUMBER.
THAT'S SOMETHING WE HAVE TO THINK ABOUT GOING FORWARD.
>> MY IDEA DURING THAT PANDEMIC, WE COULDN'T HOLD THE CEREMONY.
INDUCTED PEOPLE WHO WERE NOT LONGER ALIVE SO WE COULD HAVE THE INDUCTION CEREMONY AND NO ONE WOULD HAVE TO ATTEND.
WE CAN GET MORE PEOPLE FROM THE PAST AND ALSO IF YOU KNOW, WE DON'T HAVE TO GET MORE PEOPLE FROM THE PAST IN BUT YOU KNOW.
THEY'RE THERE IF YOU WANT THEM.
>> I THINK IT WILL CLEAR UP A LOT OF THE BACKLOG THAT WE REALLY HAVE ON THOSE THAT WERE ALL MET AND SO FORTH.
>> BECAUSE YOU KNOW, I LOOK BACK AT MY TIME IN ALEXANDRIA, THERE'S YOU LOOK AROUND.
WHEN I SEE PEOPLE OUT IN THE STREETS AND WHY ISN'T THIS PERSON IN THERE? I'M ALWAYS TRYING TO EXPLAIN.
THEY ALSO CHALLENGE WHY THIS PERSON AND THAT PERSON.
WE AS A COMMITTEE GOT TO STICK TO WHAT WE DO AND GOT A PROCESS.
THE PROCESS WORK AND WORKS WELL.
AND CONTINUE TO ASK PEOPLE TO NOMINATE EVERYONE TO HAVE OPPORTUNITY TO BEING BE INDUCTED.
IT MEANS A LOT TO A LOT OF PEOPLE.
AT SOME POINT OR ANOTHER, WE MAY NEED TO THINK ABOUT DOING ONE MORE BIG ONE TO CATCH UP AND AT THAT POINT, SOMEWHERE DOWN THE LINE ELIMINATE THE DIFFERENT PRE-POST 65 AND JUST DO ALEXANDRIA COMPLETELY AND THEY WILL FALL IN PLACE AT THAT POINT.
I DON'T KNOW IF THAT THING WORKS OR NOT.
BUT, MY QUESTION IS, HOW MUCH DOES THE COMMITTEE FOCUS ON HOW MANY FEMALES, HOW MANY MALES AND DIFFERENT SPORTS? IS THERE ANY KIND OF EQUITY THERE AS FAR AS TRYING TO GET MORE GIRLS IN OR YOU KNOW, ONE SPORT THAT'S GOT AN OVER BALANCE OF PLAYERS AND COACHES AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
>> WHAT WE HAVE DONE WHAT WE STARTED LAST YEAR TO MAKE SURE WE SAID THAT ONLY NO MORE THAN 60% OF ANY CLASS COULD BE OF ONE SEX.
SO, WE WORKED THAT BALANCE ACROSS TO MAKE SURE AND THAT'S ONE OF THE REQUESTS WE GOT FROM THE SCHOOL BOARD TO MAKE SURE WE'RE COVERING THE GENERAL PIECE.
THE OTHER PIECE WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO WORK ON IS MAKE SURE WE COVER ALL SPORTS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
THERE'S ONE DOCUMENTATION, I DON'T HAVE MY HANDS ON IT RIGHT NOW, JOE, IS A GUIDELINE FOR US TO MAKE SURE WE ONLY DO A CERTAIN NUMBER EACH YEAR AND THAT'S WHY I REQUESTED TO LOOK AT DOING MORE ONE YEAR A BIG NUMBER.
WE TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION MALE, FEMALE ALSO.
THE BOTTOM LINE IS WE TRY TO DO 60% AS FAR AS GENDER.
TO AK'S POINT, YOU KNOW I THINK WAYNE AND MICHAEL AND I WERE THE ONLY THREE WHEN THE BIG 20 PERSON CLASS WENT IN.
I THINK AK MAKES A REALLY GOOD POINT BECAUSE WHETHER THAT FIRST BIG CLASS WENT IN, I MAYBE WRONG BUT I DON'T THINK, WE HAD VERY FEW IF ANY PEOPLE THAT WERE NOMINATED FROM PRE-65.
IT WOULDN'T BE A BAD IDEA I THINK, TO DO LIKE A SPECIAL CONCESSION OR WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT FOR SOME OF THE OLD TIMERS LIKE AK SAID TO CATCH UP.
I HAVEN'T GIVEN IT MUCH THOUGHT BUT I THINK THAT'S A TERRIFIC IDEA.
[00:50:02]
THANK YOU FOR THINKING OF IT.>> SO THAT'S SOMETHING WE CAN LOOK AT GOING FORWARD AND SAY THIS IS WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO.
I DON'T THINK '22 WOULD BE THE YEAR.
MAYBE '23 WOULD BE THE YEAR WE REALLY JUMP OUT THERE AND HAVE A BIGGER CLASS AND PREPARE OURSELVES FOR THAT'S SOMETHING WE HAVE TO THINK ABOUT.
I HAVE BEEN HAVING MY HAND UP AND MUST NOT BE WORKING.
I AGREE WITH THE TOPIC ABOUT BRINGING IN SOME OF THE PRE-65S AND TAKING A LOOK AT SOME OF THE FOLKS THAT HAVE BEEN NOMINATED, HAVE BEEN OUT THERE FOR A WHILE THAT DESERVE TO TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AND DESERVE TO GET IN.
THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO SAY THANKS FOR ALL OF THE Y'ALL STEALING MY THUNDER.
I WILL PUT IT ON THE AGENDA NEXT MONTH TO HAVE A DISCUSSION TO GO THROUGH THE BOOK.
GO THROUGH THE APPLICATIONS AND START LOOKING AND SEE WHERE WE ARE.
AND WHAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW TO CLOSE OUT ON JANUARY 31ST.
I ENCOURAGE YOU TO ALWAYS, YOU WANT TO READ THE MATERIAL.
YOU GOT THOSE WHO HAVE THEIR BOOKS ARE ALSO HAVE THEIR PDF FILE THAT SUSAN SENT OUT LAST YEAR TO GO AND START READING THROUGH.
AND AS I READ THROUGH, I MISSED THIS ONE.
THAT PERSON DID THIS AND I DIDN'T PICK UP ON IT.
>> DID BOB HAVE SOMETHING HE WANTED TO SAY?
>> ANYWAY I WANTED TO SAY I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE ALL HEARD BUT I DID WIN REELECTION TO THE SCHOOL BOARD.
SO YOU'RE STUCK WITH ME ANOTHER THREE YEARS.
AND I JUST WANT TO SAY, WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY FOR THEIR SUPPORT YOU KNOW.
WHETHER IT WAS MONETARY, THE KIND WORDS, TEXT MESSAGES PUTTING SIGNS IN YOUR YARD.
I AM GREATLY APPRECIATE IT AND I JUST LOVE WORKING WITH THIS COMMITTEE.
I KNOW WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO DO GREAT THINGS.
SO I'M JUST LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.
THERE ARE THREE MEN WHO WILL BE ON THE SCHOOL BOARD.
>> I GOT MY WISH BECAUSE WILLIE IS ON THERE.
WHEN I SPEAK TO THE APPLICANT GROUP, WE ENJOY HAVING YOU HERE.
KNOWING YOU'RE HERE AND PASSING FORWARD IS ALWAYS GOOD.
>> WE WON'T SEE EACH OTHER UNTIL JANUARY.
I WANT TO SAY HAPPY NEW YEAR AND SAFE NEW YEAR.
'22 WE GOT '21 KICKED IT BEHIND US.
AND PUTTING IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR AND GO FORWARD.
