USATF Florida Certification Chair February Newsletter

Good Morning USATF Florida Officials Association,

 

First and foremost I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to Rod Larsen and Pam Betz for their many years of service to USATF Track and Field.  They have decided to retire from Track and Field but will remain active members of the Florida Association and will be able to assist and mentor when needed.  You both are appreciated and the Florida Association has benefited from your unwavering support.  Again Thank You!!

 

Recertification is now on the way  for the new Olympiad 2025-2028 Season.  All certified Officials should have this completed by March 31, 2025 at the latest.  Things to remember to do before your recertification can be processed.  For those of you who have already completed these steps, Thank you.   Please remember to add your resume, Unfortunately the resume does not come to me if you attached it to your recertification application.  If you are missing certain events on your badge it can be added during this time. Officials who were certified for the first time during 2024 will not have to recertify but you will need to make sure your membership, safe sport and background is current and all fees are paid.  Officials who would like to upgrade please send your upgrade application, resume, letters of recommendation and test questions (National/Masters) all at one time. You must meet the requirements listed in the USATF upgrade criteria before submitting the application.
