Eileen Tabert, the Registrar will need to arrange for the advertising of this event. On March 23, which is 6 weeks before registration she will need to order the Registration Kit from the National Support and Training Center (NSTC). Bill Barton the coach administrator will need to schedule the coach clinic on August 17. He has a training opportunity out of state on August 29, but his daughter is turning 17 on the 28th, so he isn’t sure if he can go. On July 13, he will need to register the coaching courses and order the course materials the required 30 days before the clinic.

How will the content of a calendar differ between the groups we just listed? What kind of dates will each group be interested in knowing?

Calendar Users
Each of the types of users mentioned above will be interested in different views of the Regional Calendar. For example: the Regional Commissioner will want to see the master calendar with all of the Region’s events and planning details, while parents will only want to know such things as the beginning and end dates of the season or when the next season’s registration events will be held.

• When the Regional administrators update their individual calendars, they must notify the “Keeper” of the calendar immediately so they can update the Regional master.
