AC Proceedings - Videos, Reports, Proposals by meeting.

Mission:
By giving voice to teachers and club owners viewpoints, priorities, and proposals we hope to improve results against key priorities:
-- Grow the number of club tables played per year
-- Develop new players
-- Grow new members
Our charter is permanent (Bylaws). We gather inputs from teachers and club owners, work to improve the ACBL Advisory Council deliberation process itself, and identify opportunities for the ACBL Advisory Council and the Board of Directors to collaborate on issues of interest to teachers and club owners.

2 MAR 2017 Improving Stakeholder Representation.  This summary with process diagrams was submitted tot he Board fo Governors at the last minute and failed to make the meeting packet.  This summarizes some of our conference discussion and outlines some of the structural weakness in the current governance process.  Further sharing beyond this committee will depend on the Committee's assessment of it's value. 
28 FEB 2017 DRAFT QUESTIONNAIRE This version includes a comprehensive set of attitudinal and classification questions.  It is too long to complete in one Survey Monkey session, and too long to ensure a high rate of participation (40-60% of target respondents). We intend to break this into at least 3 waves.
