SEMINAR: Rowing BC Umpire Leadership Forum

Rowing BC’s Umpire Committee (UC) is made up of Licensed Umpires elected by their peers to serve a 1-2 year term. In general terms, the responsibilities of the UC including ensuring all regatta juries are appropriately filled in advance of regattas, providing oversight to umpire recruitment, education and development, and keeping an eye on the umpire components of Rowing BC’s overall budget. Complete details can be found in the Terms of Reference HERE.

Beginning in 2024, the UC invited Chief Umpires and Clinicians to occasionally provide additional insight on chosen topics through what became known as the Leadership Forum. Through this avenue, the Umpire Committee could both share information with Clinicians and Chief Umpires more frequently than otherwise possible, and have an avenue to solicit their input.

The Umpire Leadership Forum will be meeting in Tsawwassen on Saturday, November 15th. Additional details have been shared directly with the umpires involved.
