 Bids for USJF Judo Conference 2003 | 
 
 
			Hope you are all well and enjoying the summer. 
			At its July meeting, the USJF DC has 
			approved the conduct of a USJF Judo Conference next year. The Judo Conference 
			will consolidate programs provided by the National Teachers Institute, National 
			Kata Development and Certification Subcommittee, the National Referee 
			Development and Certification Subcommittee, and the National Senior Development 
			Subcommittee. The goal is to have a single event providing the following: 
- Teacher certification
				
 
- Coach certification
				
 
- National Kata Seminar
				
 
- Training Camp for Senior Elite Athletes
			
 
 
			The DC feels that the optimal time to host such an event is across three full days, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, 
			either the 1st or 2nd weekend of June. 
			We would like to accept proposals from interested individuals or organizations who may want to host this event. We 
			would need at least the following: 
- Large lecture hall for 100+ individuals on site
				
 
- Two smaller classrooms for 30 individuals on site
				
 
- Two dojos to accommodate 30 training athletes or kata seminar participants on site
				
 
- Area for welcome reception for 100+ individuals on site
				
 
- Residential facilities (dorm, cafeteria, laundry, etc.)
				
 
- Close driving distance to a major airport
			
 
 
			If you are interested in applying to host this event, please send the following to my office no later than 31 August 
			2002: 
- The name of the proposed local conference coordinator, and a resume of relevant
 
			        experiences
				 
- The name, location and description of the proposed site, including brochures, photos of
 
			        the facilities, and prices for all rental rooms, lodging rooms, and meals
				 
- Description of the physical location of the proposed site in relation to a major airport in
 
			        the U.S.
				 
- Any other relevant information
			
 
 
			The USJF DC will deliberate on the 
			proposals at its October meeting and make a final decision concerning venue for 
			the 2003 USJF Judo Conference. 
			If you have any questions or comments, 
			please don?t hesitate to contact me. Thanks a lot.
