14. Measurers as USATF Certified Officials. This has been in the works for several years and it's time to make it happen.

15. Certifying courses outside of the USA – NACAC Certification Program. Legally we can only issue a USATF Certificate for courses within the USA. Any other courses must be Certified through the IAAF or by that country's certification program. Obviously many countries do not have their own program especially our neighbors in the Caribbean. The IAAF divides the world up into several regions. We belong to the NACAC region (North American - Central America - & the Caribbean). We have already received approval from the head of NACAC to start a program just for this region. It will follow the same protocols and procedures of the RRTC but the Certificate will be issued with the NACAC logo.

16. 2017 Ted Corbitt Award : Gene Newman, Bob Letson, & Mike Wickiser

17. Measurement Contest

18. IAAF – new rules & A & B status

19. The future of the JR Counter.

20. New Certification Online Platform
A group that included Jim Gilmer, Justin Kuo, Jane Parks, David Katz and others have been working on a new online certification platform that will help streamline the entire process and reduce errors. A role out will take place along with demos & training at this years annual meeting.
