IAWA World AGM Agenda

By Al Myers

The IAWA World Championships are almost here!  The entry deadline has passed, and there will be lifters from all over the World in attendance.  This year lifters from Australia, Canada, Ireland, and England will be joining the USA home lifters in lifting.  One of the big activities that occurs in addition to the lifting is the Annual General Meeting of IAWA.  This is where all the big decisions for the year in IAWA are made.   As President, I have worked up the proposed agenda for the meeting – which is outlined below.

The AGM will be right after the lifting on Saturday.   Often the meeting is on Friday night but that WILL NOT be the case this year.  I have the meet venue reserved for Saturday and Sunday (not Friday) and it is a great location for the meeting.  There are no big controversial subjects on the agenda so I expect the meeting will be short.  Please try to make it if you can.
