Procrastinators R Us: USATF posts a talent survey
This is news? On Monday, USATF informed us officially that it has a stretching research project. But didn’t you hear about that last July 1? Yup, cuz I posted it. So I don’t feel so bad about exposing my own shameful delay. For the past four or five weeks, I’ve been aware that USATF has been inviting mastersfolk to download and fill out a “Volunteer & Athlete Skills Survey.” Janet E. Smith of Oklahoma, executive vice chair of USATF Masters T&F, writes: “The purpose of the survey is to discover and evaluate unknown talent and expertise within Masters T&F, in an effort to increase diversity and participation.” In other words, USATF Masters needs more slave labor. (Which I fully support, since I’m indentured to at least two USATF committees.) I reported on this skills survey last February, when Janet detailed her plans for it. Check it out. And please forgive my tardy reporting.
