BYLAWS AMENDED
The Annual Meeting of the Missouri Valley Association was held October 4, 2008 at 1:30 p.m. The newly elected President, Kenneth Ferguson, outlined the Association's Strategic Plan for 2008-2009 Indoor and Outdoor Track & Field and Cross Country Season. Association's Strategic Plan reflects the collective strategic plans of each of the Association's Committees. We hope we all can join together as we move forward with these bold initiatives. The success of the Missouri Valley Association will depend on participation and feedback as we finish 2008 and move into 2009. If you are interested in being apart of the future of the Missouri Valley, please drop me an e-mail at fergusonk@umkc.edu. The Association Needs You.
