Convention Workshop Videos Available
|  USMS conducted three workshops at this year's USAS convention. You can find videos of these workshops on our convention videos page.
|
Club Registration
|  The club renewal process is underway. All clubs that were registered in 2011 have been sent an email containing a customized renewal link. The link allows the club to renew online with a Visa or MasterCard.
The goal is to have all clubs renewed by October 31. Members can begin registering for 2012 the following day, November 1. If a club has not renewed its membership for 2012, members will not be able to join that club during the registration process.
The LMSC registrars should be creating their paper registration forms and setting their LMSC fees in the registration software. The registration form template can be found in the USMS Guide to Operations registration section.
The National Office will begin sending renewal reminders to all 2011 members on November 1, per the membership retention plan schedule. The registrars are encouraged to send additional communications to their members as they see fit.
Once again, USMS will be offering sponsor discounts to all members who register for 2012 by December 31. Eight sponsors will be participating this year. Members will receive coupon codes in their registration receipts.

| Volunteer Profile |  Another convention is in the books and there is no doubt that its success is due to the energy, dedication, and passion of YOU, one of the more than 240 delegates in attendance.
Whether you are a delegate representing your LMSC or are appointed because of your work at the national level, you take on the responsibility of being well-informed, so you are able to make the best decision for our membership when casting your votes for our leadership, rules or legislation.
Many of you are club and LMSC volunteers as well as national committee members. You donate your time for committee work during the year, participating in conference calls, task forces and projects. Many use your personal vacation time and, depending on the stipend, assume some of the convention expenses yourselves.
You attend the IMSHOF Induction Ceremony and USAS Awards banquet to honor those from USMS and the other NGBs who are the best of the best. You swim at morning coached workouts, participate in workshops, network in the hospitality suite and bring ideas back to your clubs and LMSCs.
A special thank you to all of you. U.S. Masters Swimming would not be the organization it is today without you!
