The New Mexico Activities Association and New Mexico Officials Association would like to cordially invite you to attend the 1st Annual Communication Summit to be held in Santa Fe, New Mexico on Wednesday, October 10, 2007.

The purpose of the summit is to bring basketball coaches and officials together to discuss issues relative to communication between coaches, officials and student-athletes in order to make games the best possible atmosphere for all involved parties. Many coaches have requested this type of summit in the past few years and we are excited to be bringing it to you.

We are excited to have the first summit in beautiful Northern New Mexico and our hope is to host a summit in each region of the state in the future. Our speaker for the event will be Mr. Jimmy Casas, a nationally renowned NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Official from Denver, Colorado. Jimmy is currently the coordinator for the Referee Educational Forums in Colorado and New Mexico, where officials discuss communication skills from the pre-game to the final buzzer.

Our hope is that we can get 100% attendance from the coaches and officials in Northern New Mexico so that we can begin the process of building beneficial and positive relationships between all members of the interscholastic family in the years to come.

Details of the Summit are as follows:

Date: Wednesday, October 10, 2007
Time: 9:00 a.m – 4:00 p.m.
Site: Capital High School Performing Arts Center (located next to the gymnasium)
4851 Paseo del Sol
Santa Fe, NM 87505
Cost: $100.00 per attendee
