A big THANK YOU to all of the attendees of this year’s Member Sessions and Annual General Meeting in North Battleford. Attended by 16 of 21 Regular Member Organizations and 4 Associate Member Organizations, the weekend was met with positive feedback and encourages evolution of the weekend’s events for the future to better suit the needs of our members. A big thank you to the Battleford Youth Soccer Association and the Tropical Inn for their hospitality.
On Saturday morning, the SSA Staff presented several updates and initiatives about their direction and aspirations for the future of the SSA, including plans in execution of specific strategies to achieve the goals of the Strategic Plan and the outcomes of their work. Staff also took the opportunity to present plans for 2015 and how the Association plans to encourage and incorporate the voice of the membership in helping to shape a Strategic Plan for Soccer in Saskatchewan above and beyond the SSA Strategic Plan.
