TNUSA Membership,

Our new Bylaws that were sent out to the membership were approved and passed and have since been updated on our website http://tnusawrestling.com. Our Board positions on the have also been updated to reflect all current Officers. With the changing in roles of some of our Directors we will be looking to fill the positions of the West Director and Technology and Communications Director as Nelson Shirley is now our Vice Chair and Shawn Weller is now the Director of the South Region. We are also adding several Age Level Directors for Kids, 16U, and Junior age divisions as well as a TNUSAW/TNAAU Liaison to the Board. If you have any suggestions for these roles please reach out to our Board with your ideas. Our end of the year financials will be posted this week and the minutes from the meeting have been posted on our website and will be attached below. We look forward to the continued partnership with the Tennessee wrestling community this year. If you have any questions please reach out to either our Chair or Vice Chair or any of your regional Directors.
