Q: Do you need to register your club's delegate(s)?

A: Your club's delegates from the Fall 2023 HOD are still valid as long as they are members of USA Swimmming in good standing - check the list below. Otherwise, if you need to change or add an athlete or non-athlete delegate, YES, a delegate registration and subsequent completed disclosure is required to be able to vote.

 

 

IF YOUR NAME IS NOT IN GREEN BELOW, YOU CANNOT VOTE!

IF YOUR NAME IS IN PALE YELLOW, ONCE YOU SUBMIT YOUR DISCLOSURE YOU SHOULD BE CLEARED TO VOTE & YOUR NAME WILL CHANGE TO GREEN.

DISCLOSURES WILL ARRIVE BY EMAIL THIS WEEK. PLEASE BE ON THE LOOKOUT.

IF YOUR NAME IS IN BLUE, PLEASE REGISTER TO ATTEND THE ZOOM MEETING (LINK BELOW) AND ALSO REVIEW YOUR PREVIOUSLY SIGNED DISCLOSURE - YOU WILL RECIEVE IT VIA EMAIL THIS WEEK. ONCE BOTH ARE DONE, YOUR NAME WILL CHANGE TO GREEN. 

 

To get your name in green, you need to register for the Zoom meeting to attend HOD (link below, scroll down) AND you need to have a disclosure on file. If you submitted your name and are waiting to sign a disclosure, you will receive it via email before the HOD.
