Per our By-Laws, the SAYRA Race Management Committees purpose is

  • To maintain and improve the quality of race management
  • To hold race management training sessions at associate and club levels
  • To publish and disseminate training materials
  • To offer consultation; and
  • To promote the US Sailing Association Race Officers Program.

 

To meet our mission, below are our 2017 Goals:

  • Use the new SAYRA Website for group communications
  • Follow-up with prior year(s) expirations
  • Build a Race Officers Locational Map
  • Share Best Practices
  • Schedule & Execute US Sailing Race Officer Certification Course
  • Line up additional communication helps

 

Our list of certified race officers has dropped from 67 this time last year to 52.   Most of those 52 are from just a few SAYRA clubs.   SAYRA leads the nation in promoting quality race management training and club race management support.  We need to build our support team back up.   Key to doing so are our Race Management Seminars.
