Questions / Concerns

Sometimes it seems very difficult to get answers to questions that I might have. I have volunteers who need to do their Protective Behaviors for their three year screening and they do not receive any email with how to complete this. I have asked and have been told emails have gone but yet none have been received. Would be nice when you leave a message on someone's voicemail that you get the courtesy of a return call. Would like to know who the unified contact person is for my area. Would be nice if we could incorporate some of the unified participants into our program. I really feel in the dark with this unified stuff..

Questions / Concerns

I do not ever remember being told that the competition guide was not going to be a source of information-- you have the competition guide which was kind of like our main place to go-- it is still in the log on section but it shows up as error 404 the same as uniform branding it would be good if the information would be there or else remove it --- would like sports information- rules for the sports to also be on the back end for agencies----- would like more encouragement for the regular bowling season to have unified bowling-- had 2 athletes that wanted to bowl in virtual competition as a unified double however they were denied that opportunity due to no other doubles for them to compete with - perhaps when there is that other unified double competition ( 1 time only with no advancement to state) there could be more information given to the doubles to encourage them to participate in the unified double virtual event. rnrnrn10/23 F 1 question indicates a N/A as you have no official materials-- yet there is NO N/A to check
