Pleasant Youth Bridge Program has completed two classes last month, etc. ♠        ♥       ♣       ♦   Posted March 1 , 2010 from Director Sharon Roe Anderson ACBL Goals As many of you know, I will soon be leaving for our wonderful Spring NABC in Reno. Before I am able to compete against players from all around the world, however, I will be meeting with fellow board members. To that end, I would like to get your input about what goals and plans should be for the ACBL. What should our primary goals be for 2010? Do keep in mind; these goals may not necessarily be completed in 2010. The goals should not be simple fixes that can be addressed in motions. Rather, they should be more significant challenges. One example might be: determining the feasibility of creating a ranking system based upon current performance, rather than on accumulated masterpoints. Please offer your suggestions in the comments below. Your thoughts and concerns and ideas are important to me! I look forward to hearing from you.
