- The Board discussed the name of the Association in light of the renaming of The Athletics Congress to USA Track & Field. The Board approved a motion by Skelly to state the sense of the Board that the primary identification of the Association should continue to be as San Diego-Imperial, even if the remainder of the name should change to conform. Some guidance may be given by the Association Committee workshop.
- Bache reported that Arnie Robinson will direct the Regional Junior Olympics Track and Field Championships in July. No director has stepped forward for the Association Championships. David Dunbar will be approached.
- Bache reported that the USATF Women's Committee will provide travel funds under the Association Athlete's Development Program through a designated Association Championship.

- Bernard reported on two meetings at the San Diego Athletic Club, courtesy of Thom Hunt, concerning the Association Cross Country Team Championships.

The focus of the series will be the last event, with scoring heavily weighted toward it.
- Skelly reported that the Officials Association conducted a certification clinic January 23, with six or seven prospective officials attending. 58 Officials are certified, and six are in the process of recertification.
