HI Dick,
We have another closed Forum for Board Members Only where we hold most discussions.
Right now we are trying to get our first Newsletter out in the July Issue of Catamaran Sailor Magazine.

Some areas that definitely need filled would be:
Youth Sailing Committee: This committee was formed to advance youth sailing in North America, to get acceptance of multihulls in events around North America, offer training and camps for youth, and the list goes on. At this point multihulls are not allowed to participate in the US Sailing's Youth events, nor the Orange Bowl. This should not be and we need a strong leader to get something done about those problems.
At present, Sean McQuilken is the Youth Advisor to the Youth Committee, but we need a Chairman and other committee members.

Chapter Committee: This is probably the most important committee of NAMSA. It will be responsible for organizing all of the NAMSA Chapters, who will all be part of the committee. This committee will be responsible for Interfacing with other Chapter Members, Resolving issues between Chapters, Making suggestions for event locations and dates, Making suggestions for rules changes, advising NAMSA toward improvements in its overall purpose, Soliciting national and international event locations.
This committee obviously will be the most major influence on the direction of NAMSA.

Events Committee: This committee, in addition to helping work on coordinating dates and locations of events, should oversee such things as scoring of events. At this point SailWave is the software of choice.., hands down. However, we need someone to work with Colin for improvements and someone that can put together a simple brochure or booklet on exactly how to best use the program.., and to offer tech support.
And that committee will come up with NAMSA suggested forms for NORs, SIs, Course Stickers, and find an outlet for Marks, Flags, and other RC materials, etc.

Newsletter Editor: No doubt this is one of the biggest jobs. It is the glue that will hold the parts together. Every month we will need up-to-date, edited info and news for the NAMSA News which will be published in Catamaran Sailor Magazine.

Miniature RC Multihull Committee: We are preparing to set up a Committee for the F-48 R/C Multihulls (miniature and radio controlled) as they have been wanting to join NAMSA for over a year now. Strangely enough they get the same treatment from monohull RC boaters as we do in the real cats.

Hope you find something there of interest. So far we have not found anyone to fill these voids.
Rick
