Happy Spring - I think.  Many programs are starting next week.  Before you get going, here are a few housekeeping items.

1) Membership if you are not listed as "active", you are not a 2017-2018 member of NESSA/ISSA.  
A. If "Pending", all you need to do it pay your dues.
B. If "Inactive", log on and update your school's information, then download & pay your invoice.

2) Regatta registration. Registration for the O'Day, Herreshoff, and Teams is going well.  
  • Links to all three registration forms can be found on the NESSA Schedule page
  • To see a Registration list, click on the regatta name on the schedule page
  • Click on the "Reg" tab next to the regatta name.
    • NESSA Fleet Racing Championship (O'Day Trophy) - 2018
    • Herreshoff Qualifier 
    • NESSA Team Racing Championship (Mark & Terk Trophies) - 2018
Remember though:
  1. Registration window closes for all three regattas on Sunday April 1, 2018 at 2359 EDT.  That about 2 weeks from tomorrow.
  2. Payments must be made for the O'Day and Herreshoff prior to the close of registration.  The link to the NESSA PayPal account is  on the NESSA homepage (right side middle). 
3) Team Racing Scores database is being built over the next two weeks.  Again not a current NESSA member, good chance you won't be included.

4) Rosters and Tech Score.  All NESSA regattas will be using Tech Score.  In order for it to operate properly, the NESSA/ISSA database must be populated at least 24 hour prior to the event.  Many schools do not fully know the composition of their squad's at this point, I get that, but make a note on your calendar to update the roster asap.  RP penalties are 20 pts/ division.

All of these reminders have a common theme - personable responsibility.  Once April 1st rolls around the volunteers that make up the ExComm would like to focus on coaching and training their teams.  When you take care of responsibilities for your school early, it makes our collective jobs easier and for that,we thank you.
