CDL Coaches Council Looks Ahead to SY2013

The Chicago Debate League Coaches Council completed a successful year of quarterly meetings and interim communications providing input and guidance on the administration of the Chicago Debate League.

The CDL Coaches Council discussed and helped affect policy and implementation decisions on a wide variety of matters, including the season calendar, joint tournaments, the Chicago Debate Championship rules and schedule, tournament meals, coach stipend disbursements, incentives, the charter school invitational, principal communications, and the longer school day, among others.

Quarterly meeting notes are available for your review:

Q1 (9/8/11)

Q2 (11/8/11)

Q3 (2/29/12)

Q4 (6/6/12)

The Coaches Council is made up of two coach representatives from each of the four high school conferences. The Coaches Council representatives in SY2012 were:

Don Baumgartner (“AA”)
Robb Berry (RCC)
Scott Dodsworth (LCC)
Bob Edwards (LCC)
Kurt Hilgendorf (“A”)
Paul Johnson (“A”)
Valerie Mason (RCC)
Stephanie Mitchell (“AA”)

We are now conducting Coaches Council representative elections for SY2013. Each coach gets two votes for any two coaches in your conference (you can vote for yourself). Voting will end on July 3rd, 2012. Vote by sending an email with your two coach representative preferences to cdc@resources.chicagodebates.org. Vote for representatives who you think will represent your school’s interests in these important council meetings, providing the official forum for coach input in the management of the CDL.
