SOVT aims to provide the necessary tools to support our current athletes and to build local programs. We are going to talk about the existing revenue sharing opportunities, hear from some coaches and program coordinators who are having success with fundraising events, and brainstorm some additional processes that will simplify some of the program coordinator’s responsibilities.The Toolkit is a new and living document. We are researching new processes as we make the transition to accrediting Local Programs under the SOVT name. We look forward to hearing your feedback.
