BOSTON — The eight administrators on the CHSAA staff arrived here Friday afternoon in preparation for the 95th annual NFHS summer meeting, which begins Sunday.
The conference features daily panels, discussions and sessions across all areas of high school sports and activities. Included are various technology roundtables, as well as breakout sessions for individual sports.
In addition, the annual meeting is typically a forum for networking and exchanging of ideas and best practices between state associations.
Many of the topics discussed during this meeting will be relayed to CHSAA membership during the Association’s All-School Summit in late July.
The National Federation will also induct the 2014 class to its Hall of Fame during the meeting. Among the inductees is Colorado’s George Demetriou, a longtime football and baseball official as well as rules interpreter for those sports.
CHSAA staff will have prominent roles during the meeting. Assistant commissioner Bethany Brookens will head a session on transgender policies, and assistant commissioner Jenn Roberts-Uhlig is in charge of a marketing roundtable.
The Association’s board of directors is making the trip to Boston, as well, and they will attend various sessions during the conference.
Last year’s summer meeting was hosted by CHSAA and held in Denver.
