Thanks to Chris Devlin and the members of the Executive Board in attendance at the Special Olympics yesterday at The Rivers School. What a rewarding event, thanks to all the officials who volunteered to officiate.

 

 

Our NEW online platform is now up and running. Through this portal, we will be able to digitize everything associated with Board 27:

* Attendance and signing into meetings
* Paying dues
* Registering for the brunch and golf tournament
* Donating to Officials v Cancer
* Voting for nominated board members

1.) Registering on RefSec and Paying Dues:

* Click this link and you will be directed to the RefSec registration. Once clicked, there are a few steps to follow:
* Enter your email,
* Click on "Send Me My Pin" (This will be a six digit code),
* Confirm your contact information (MAKE SURE YOUR CELL PHONE NUMBER, COUNTY, AND EMAIL ADDRESS ARE CORRECT),
* Continue as a guest,
* Pay active dues through PayPal,
* In the very near future, you will not be able to pay dues via check.
***Note, if you owe dues from previous years, the platform will not acknowledge that. The executive board has this information on record and will reach out to you directly after you register.***

A recommendation...bookmark refsec.com. If you ever forget or lose your pin, you can click on members in the top right corner and that will give you a link to your own account in RefSec.

2.) To digitize signing into meetings:

* Download the RefSec app in the App Store on your mobile device,
* Enter your cell phone number,
* On mornings of board meetings, you will be able to sign into the meeting on your phone. You will not be able to pay dues on the app. You must pay dues on the website linked above.

You will find all information necessary to access the course and upon registration, you will receive by mail an IAABO handbook, which includes the NFHS rules book, case book, and IAABO official’s manual.

You will have 5 months to complete the course and successfully pass the 50 question IAABO candidate exam.

You can go through the material at your own pace when you have time.  You will be fully supported with a mentor that will answer questions you may have as you go through the course.

The course is comprised of 8 lessons and a student guide and the course is straightforward and easy to follow.  You review a lesson and take the quiz in the student guide after each lesson.  Once you are comfortable with that lesson you move on the next lesson until you complete the course.  

The course costs $50.  Once you have paid, you may access the course immediately with the Username and Password that you establish during registration.  Remember you will have unlimited support from your specified mentor throughout the course.
