SCHEDULE "E" OFFICIAL CHAIRMAN REPORT July 8th, 2017 TO: APU Members The Alberta Powerlifting Union relies on many hardworking referees to help run its contest. Referees are an integral part in the success of powerlifting competitions across Alberta. Alberta now has 15 Provincial referees and 4 National, or higher, referees. This number is down from last year as we have had few referees expire. This year, our referees were quite busy with the APUs 8 events. The standard of refereeing is consistent, fair, and that of the World level. I take pride in knowing that each referee is competent and judges with tact and an unbiased eye. We have seen a small increase with 3 new provincial referees passing their examinations. Our veteran referees are getting a bit strained again and this year I will be looking to fill the ranks further. Looking ahead this year, there will are 5 referees already scheduled to take their test in future meets and 6 more on the interested wait list. This is great to see and I am excited to welcome those new referees, and future referee to our organization. Currently, we are not experiencing any difficulty in securing referees for any contest. In terms of CPU related referee changes, there have been little changes in the CPU Constitution for referees. It is as follows: -Discussion of tiered membership, such as Referee Membership -Brock Haywood is now the Officiating Chairmen, Bill had to step down due to health issues. Highlights of the previous year are as follows: Administered 3 successful new Provincial Referees. Updated the website providing a comprehensive outline of how to become an APU Provincial Referee. I would like to acknowledge Angelina Van Rywsk, as our hardest working referee, who refereed 7 competitions in 2016.
