Regional Director Guidelines:

It is expected that a member of the Board will:

1) have and maintain reasonable computer access and check for online Board communications on a regular and timely basis,

2) participate with reasonable frequency in Board discussions, whether on the Board forum, or otherwise,

3) help direct/promote local tournaments.

Encouraged activity:

A Regional Director is strongly encouraged to visit/contact as many billiard rooms as possible within his/her region to establish a relationship with the owner or a representative of the room. If there is no current representative of the room, the Regional Director is encouraged to help establish one. Teaching someone from the room how to run tournaments is ideal. A Regional Director should be available to help local room representatives with information, forms, materials, advice, etc. A Regional Director is encouraged to insure that each room in his/her region has a USBA Membership Display, Poster and Membership Applications which can be provided by the Secretary. A Regional Director is encouraged to promote the USBA and tournaments as often as possible.

A Regional Director can seek reimbursement from the USBA for reasonable expenses incurred during the performance of his/her duties, subject to the approval by the Secretary and/or the Board of Directors. If possible, the expenses should be approved in advance. The normal reasonable expenses are:
- Gasoline expenses incurred in the "establishment" of a new relationship between a room and the USBA
- Necessary tournament & recruitment materials
