The actual requirement is "25 or fewer tables expected." If we go over on a session or two it's ok. This would be in line with the attendance for the Glendale Sectional.

I have reservation limits set right now at 16 for Open and 10 for 499ers.

I approve.

This won't make it a done deal. I'm going to have to negotiate with ACBL and our assigned TD. Paula would be working under a supervising remote TD.

Dear Board, 

We have an opportunity to engage a local sectional director rather than a national director for our sectional.  I received a notice from the ACBL a few days ago notifying our unit that local sectional directors can be used.  There are a few restrictions, the most important one being that we cannot have more than 25 tables.  We qualify for all the other restrictions.  The other is that we will be giving out slightly less MP to thewinners because we are not using a national director. 

The benefit is that the cost is substantially less.  A national director will be around $2500 according to MoJo and a local director will be around $600.  MoJo has already contact Paula Olivares and she has agreed to be the local director for us if we would like to take this avenue.  

This is a Board decision and since we do not have a meeting until July 8, I need your consent to move forward in this way.  MoJo does not believe the table restriction will be an issue since we are space challenged anyway, and the cost savings are significant. 

Please reply all and email me your vote on this question ASAP.

Many thanks for your work for the Board. 

Lisa
