Masters: We won bid for 2016 Indoors. Discussion followed regarding who is meet director and association with UNM.
Mens/Womens T&F: There is no bid out for 2015. Maybe look into sponsoring/travel grants to local elite athletes. Paul Gooris discussed calendars from collegiate/high school Vaulter magazine, maybe put a link on the website linking to Vaulter website. Laurie will look at guidelines.
LDR: Going to be looking for a championship to meet our requirement. Proposed that race comes to USATFNM with results of records that were broken on a sanctioned and/or certified course. Discussion followed on how to report reports. Find an association who does this and does this well, to see how they report it. What is required for a road record? Paul will send a synopsis through email with some details.
Trying to put together a race series, looking at sanctions, etc…Progressing forward with getting it together with a March 1 deadline, maybe use this year as a pilot. Discussion followed regarding various cities in state that have marathons/half marathons.
Cross Country: successful state meet, criteria changed for Nationals which changed logistics. Good rep of NM at Nationals. San Antonio did ok. Course was less than desirable. In 2015 we will have to take massive amounts of people into consideration for seating at venues.
Youth: Arlena discussed the national meeting. Jacksonville won bid for JO TF in 2015. Discussion followed regarding why there hasn’t been one in the west zone. Interesting convention.
Club Membership: no report
Race Walking: 8 regular judges to depend on. Relay in April, 5k in Santa Fe, 5k Regional walk, race walking getting around. High School having a 1 mile demonstration. NM admired for how we run race walks in the developmental meets.
Officials: Post from annual meeting is on the website. Officials who want to do NCAA, they will have to be NCAA certified as well as USATF. More info to come on this. Memberships need to be renewed. If not renewed membership as a cert official by March, they will be dropped from national database.

Gerald Cienolo suggested that on June 5-7 for the Great Southwest, USATF could host a track meet at UNM? What is the costs? Rules around concessions, food and water regulations.
Blocks, we have a grant for $1000, Shane showed some blocks that are $300-400 a block. Need to see about buying 10, which would be $3000 total. Table to next meeting to see if Dave can give us a run down of financial report on that. May look at getting equipment from USATF indoor meet.
