CHSAA Board of Directors Meets at Make-A-Wish for November Meeting

GREENWOOD VILLAGE – The Colorado High School Activities Association’s Board of Directors met on Wednesday at the Make-A-Wish Foundation office for its November meeting.

The meeting started with a President’s Welcome from Board President Ryan West before an approval of minutes from the last meeting.

CHSAA Director of Finance Sarah Vernon-Brunner then presented a finance update, showing that CHSAA’s finances are in line with projections so far this year. CHSAA’s auditor was also in attendance and presented a successful audit report from last year with no unusual findings.

Throughout the Director Reports portion, board members shared out reports from their leagues, which included conversation around how cancelled games impact postseason seeding, challenges with non-CHSAA member schools looking to join leagues, issues with NFHS Network streaming, interest in looking at adding a 6A volleyball classification and potential for there to be an A and B league for 6-man football, which would create a big school and small school mentality within the classification.

During the legislative update, it was shared that there are two bills that may be coming regarding physical therapists clearing athletes from injury and performing sports physicals. The other bill is around cardiac response and AEDs being available within 1-2 minutes.

The group then went through the board’s bylaw proposals for the January Legislative Council meeting, before CHSAA Commissioner Mike Krueger provided updates around the work that the Classification and League Organizing Committee (CLOC) and Transfer Task Forces has been doing. CHSAA staff updates were mostly around fall championships, branding and student broadcasters.

The next board meeting will be January 27.
