ByKathy Nelson

I hope everyone is staying healthy. 

We would like to welcome Tammy Donahue to the WI State board as an appointed contact/communication administrator. Here is the link from the July Meeting:  July SAC meeting.

Here is the 2020-21 WI Rules & Policies with an addendum for COVID.  The first page has an overview of the changes for the 2020-21 season.  There are also highlighted changes throughout the R&P that relate to this year only.
We looked at all the responses to the compulsory meet request email Randy and I sent out. All the clubs that responded received a meet.  I have created a calendar on the state website with the meets listed on it.  If you would like an optional meet added to the calendar, just email me. For the 2020-21 season, all meets of 2 or more clubs are considered qualifying meets  Please email Sarah Nelson for judges.   https://usagymwi.com/calendar/.  
I have updated  https://usagymwi.com/ .  Some of the things that have changed are below.

We will be using the 2019-20 USA Gymnastics active member and club email lists until October.  Please make sure your club email and person member emails are correct on USA Gymnastics because that is where I am getting my email lists from.

Thanks,
Kathy Nelson

Contributor of the Year-Lifetime Achievement

Congratulations to Greg Lafleur!

Contributor of the Year-Lifetime Achievement

We would like to congratulate Greg Lafleur as our Contributor of the Year- Lifetime Achievement.
Greg LaFleur has dedicated a lifetime to the sport of gymnastics. His family was recognized at the 2011 USA Gymnastics Business Conference for their extraordinary accomplishments, contributions, and commitment to the sport of gymnastics.
Greg has generously volunteered many hours to our state of Wisconsin, Region 4, and USA Gymnastics. He served on the State Board, the National Elite Program Committee, has been a clinician at Region 4 Congress and National Congress. He has also been voted Wisconsin Coach of the Year multiple times for both the boys and girls. Greg has helped many gymnasts receive college scholarships and win National, and even International titles; including winning gold at the Jr. Pan Am games. But what stands out more than Greg’s accomplishments, is his kindness, generosity and lasting impressions he has on his gymnasts and coaching colleagues.
Thank you Greg for all you have done for the sport of gymnastics in Wisconsin!
