VSI Swimposium Update

Dear VSI Coaches and Club Contacts:

This is just a reminder that I will be teaching the Club Leadership and Business Management School at the VSI Swimposium on Saturday. This course covers all aspects of club governance from mission, to finances, volunteerism. If your club has never attended CLBMS or if you have a new board or a new head coach, this course is a “must!!”

For more information, go to the VSI Swimposium page.

There is no cost, but you must register with Mary Scott Garrett in advance via email or phone (804) 747-5720.

The flyer says 9 AM to 4 PM, but I promise you that you will walk out the door no later than 3 PM. Hope to see you on Saturday!
