We are excited to share that guest speaker Dave Mathews, Director of Application Development at USA Wrestling, will be sharing a presentation on the use of the USAW membership system!

This will be extremely valuable to club directors, tournament directors, parents, etc. as we move into the new membership season. “This is such an exciting time for Dave Mathews to attend our annual meeting that you will not want to miss this opportunity to hear from the developer of the system,” said Todd Schaaf.

The annual meeting is open to all members. We will hear from WWF State Chairperson, Todd Schaaf, and multiple other directors with their year-in-review.

Up for vote this year are the positions of Kids Director, 16U Director, Junior Director, Women’s Director and University Director. Sanctioned clubs with 10+ members are eligible to vote.
