2006 - 2007 State Tournament Results

State Members Meeting on March 3, 2007

The IRA would like to thank everyone who came out for a great State Singles Championship. A special thank you to Ronda Gilderoy for putting on a great banquet held at her restaurant Roosters Eatery. And a thanks to Steve and Alex Purcell for always helping during set up and tear down of our events.

Our annual business meeting was held during the banquet; new nominations to the board and special player awards were given out. Here is a brief break down of those nominations and award.

The bylaws of the IRA corporation were modified. Board memberships will be limited to one year. There was established an Executive Chair of the board which will be comprised of three members from those retiring from the past years board. The Chair members will be elected by that retiring board from that retiring board. These Chair members will then serve the membership at large by serving in an oversight and mentoring role of the incoming new board. The Chair members will serve for one year. Each year that Chair members will be replaced by three elected members from the then retiring board, to assist the new incoming board.
