Online Education Sessions for Diversity Training:
RISE is a firm hired by USA hockey to do diversity training with affiliates. They will go over challenges and solutions. USA hockey will kick in $5,000 if the affiliates come up with $10,000.00. Our portion would be $1500.00. Derrick asked if the board wanted to donate the $1500 or not. Jill Day motioned to pay the $1500.00. There was no second, the motion died. Emily motioned that we donate $500 to show our support. Kathleen suggested that Emily (and anyone else) attend the diversity training as part of the virtual congress this Wednesday. Emily withdrew her motion.
Discussion of the final draft budget 2020-2021:
He did not change income levels, but Derrick did go through and reduce some of the numbers for each section in order to balance the budget. It is information for the July board meeting, where an annual budget will be adopted.
Discussion of appointing Associate Utah Registrar:

Misty Herbstritt, VP of HS:
Everything looks good, still figuring out how the virus will impact HS.
Doug Anne, VP of Women’s Hockey:
Nothing specific, but he did ask Shannon Schmidt if he had heard anything about tryouts. He said that getting private ice in SL County will continue to be difficult.
Emily Rains, VP of Adult Hockey:
Prior to the past two months, she had started communication with adult female hockey players. They want to try and bring teams together and address some of the challenges facing adult hockey players in Utah.
Shannon Schmidt, VP of Youth:
He said he got back on the board with one interest in mind, and that is to get the UYHL going again.
Paul Lehman, VP of Travel/Tier:
WCR tryouts are June 12th. He asked Shannon Schmidt what the stumbling block is for private ice. Shannon said lack of dressing rooms/locker rooms, number of participants, and control over social distancing.
Steve Picano, VP of Disabled Hockey:
Everyone got their money back from State Camp fees. It was a good building block for him and Emily, and they will do much better next year.
