EB #26-24

EB Ballot #26-24 – Approve increasing reimbursement amount to a total of $5000 for Nick Bethard who represented USCA on the 2024 FCI team.

Motion by Chris Thompson, MER RD, second by John Kennedy, Treasurer, to approve increasing reimbursement amount to a total of $5000 for Nick Bethard who represented USCA on the 2024 FCI team.

Background: Prior to 2019, many USCA members of various FCI teams received $5000 in reimbursement from USCA. Nick is currently approved for $2500 in reimbursement, so an increase of $2500 is requested to bring Nick’s reimbursement to the same level.

Nick has shown dedication to USCA by assisting in co-hosting the 2024 WDC and representing USCA interests in AWDF dealings. Nick also volunteered a significant amount of his time in developing a live stream platform that USCA can use for its championships, starting with the 2024 Mid East Regional Championship.
