Long Range Planning Committee Proposal for
MARC Region & BOD Changes

Below is the data compiled by the Long Range Planning Committee. This is presented to maintain transparency and to provide you facts as you complete the upcoming survey. Thank you for participation in MARC. 

​~ Fred Nusbickel, President

The Long Range Planning committee proposed to the MARC board taking the current four regions and changing into three regions.
The rationale behind this is the following:
  1. A majority of the membership lives East of the Mississippi river. The current East and Central regions have a much larger numbers of members than does the current West Central and West.
  2. It will allow equal representation in each region that is the west region will now have the same number of members as the central and East regions.
  3. Provides the opportunity for more grounds in each of the three regions to host the MAI.
  4. With better geography for the regions the MARC could be held as late as June, which is better for members in Northern states.
  5. Provides more locations to hold the MAI in the proposed western region.
  6. Increases the pool of judges by combining the two western regions that have fewer members with the current boundaries.
  7. The long range planning committee unanimously agreed and approved this idea. 

PROPOSED WESTERN REGION (18 STATES)

Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Montana, North Dakota, Nebraska, New Mexico, Nevada, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Washington, Wyoming.

PROPOSED CENTRAL REGION (13 States)

BOARD CONFIGURATION AND TERMS OF OFFICE

The BOD would go from four Vice Presidents to Three:  One from each region. 

Two directors would be representing each region.

The BOD would go from eight to nine members.

The BOD would need to change the bylaws to accomplish this.

The VP term of office and director term of office would both be three years.  In each of the three years the term for one board member from each region would expire and be up for reelection, thus in a giver year a VP from one region and directors from two regions would have expiring terms. 


IN SUMMARY
  1. Transitioning from four to three regions means each region and member has equal representation.
  2. Increases the pool of judges that could judge the MAI in the new West region.
  3. Provide more venues to possibly host the MAI in the West region. ​
