The Members of the Age Group Committee are appointed by the Board of Directors. The Chair is appointed by the President. While not a requirement in the By-laws, the Board and AGC try to insure that every region in country is represented on the Committee wherever possible. Those wishing to join us on the AGC should contact the Chair who will submit the nomination to the Board of Directors for approval.
Meetings (by conference call) are held bi-monthly and the schedule for 2008 has been set for meetings to be held on the second Tuesday of each month. Minutes of the meetings are recorded and approved by the AGC within a few days of the meeting. They are then circulated to the Board and posted on the AGC web site.
The Age Group Committee, as stated in our mission, represents the age group multi-sport athlete in issues that come before the Board. Generally, the Board will request the AGC to make a recommendation on anything that impacts age groupers.
Aside from our advisory role on policy matters, the AGC oversees the Athlete of the Year Award and selects (through a sub-committee) its recipients each year.
The AGC also oversees the administration of the National Rankings process, and monitors it for any modifications that are needed to have the rankings be as accurate as possible.
