NETX Jan. 24 2012 Agenda Items: (modified 2012-01-05)

• meeting with Chris S. to talk about JTT and his compensation 
• Strategic plan and goals.
• Combo league
• Is the current format of a tournament optimal for men’s participation.
• Is it worth organizing a team for a weekend tournament?
• Could it be an alternative to the USPTA league in the fall?
• Discuss Sam’s data.  I think it is interesting that the women’s participation is flat (growing would be better) and the men’s participation is declining.
• Does this match national trends?
• Is the decline in men’s participation a product of burn out? 
  Revolt against bump ups? 
  Apathy from not winning league?
• Who is dropping out?  Probably not the players that go to sectionals?
• review numbers we have and
• what further numbers we want
• Items from Robyn
• in 2012 the G-T-G equipment grants will be replaced by Kid's Club and Play Day program support.  We can talk about how NETX Coalition can get involved in getting these programs up and running too! 
• the coalition has the availability to send a blast email out to all USTA members within their area for any communications.  This can be done once per quarter and has to be coordinated through Stephanie Arena
• Next meeting:
