Waiver of 12 Month Continuous Membership to enter USCA/WUSV selection process for Dan Richards
EB #03-15
Motion: by Don Yelle (New England Regional Director), seconded by Frank Phillips, Vice President, to waive the 12 month continuous membership criteria for declaring to enter for the USCA/WUSV team selection process for Dan Richards. Dan has requested a waiver due to hardships incurred early last year. I am presenting his request to the EB Board.
Background: Message from Daniel Richards
My name is Daniel Richards and I am requesting a waiver for the continuous 12 month requirement for active membership status, for declaring intent to enter for the USCA/WUSV team selection process.
Due to financial and physical hardship I was unable to renew my membership due for January 2014. On November 8, 2013 I was laid off from my employer. On March 12, 2014, I suffered a severe right ankle sprain. After getting back on my feet, I renewed my membership in June 2014.
I have been a member of USCA since 1989 and I still have my original membership number 00923. I have given many years of my life supporting, training, and competing in this organization. I have been loyal to our organization all of this time.
I respectively request that the executive board grant me the ability to participate and enter for the USCA/WUSV team selection process.
Thank you,
Dan Richards
