Recruiting

Hi John, I appreciate it when people ask about what USMS is doing behind the scenes, and your question is a very good one. In addition to Julie's points, I'm pleased to report that the Editorial Board and the Marketing Committee are discussing several ideas for possible bonus distribution of SWIMMER magazine. At this time, we are talking about possible bonus distribution to other aquatic organizations; presence at aquatic conventions, coaching conventions, and recreation conventions; and possible distribution at other types of sporting events. This type of distribution requires strategy, planning, and finances. It may take a little time before we start to use the magazine effectively as a marketing tool through bonus distribution -- but if we plan well and spend wisely, it will be well worth the time and the effort. By the way, the annual USMS Convention will take place in a few weeks. If you're interested, there are mid-year reports about committee activities in the spring issue of Streamlines...From the National Office, at: www.usms.org/.../nycu2005spring.pdf There are year-end committee reports available in the delegate packet at: www.usms.org/.../ And, there will be more post-convention details about the USMS Committee meetings online at: www.usms.org/.../ Bill
