So what is the role of the executive director? What initiatives/issues will fall under his umbrella? Issues that I see lurking:

1. Role/impact of US Academy program on state, including ODP. Recent announcement of new U14 Academy league.

2. Additional impact of other organizations on USYSA/SCYSA. (ECNL - NL)

3. Competitive imbalance in state at Challenge level

4. How to grow player participation at classic and challenge level.
