Annual Meetings

Each year, there will be three membership meetings. To maintain your status as a “good standing” member, officials must attend two out of three membership meetings. Officials who fail to meet this requirement may be put on probationary status with the SMBOA.

1) Annual Business Meeting: This is the first of two required meetings. This meeting includes a meal for all members and topics discussed include official business, approval of Probationary Members, election of Board Members, recognition of Final Four Officials, & upcoming meeting dates.  In addition, we will recognize hall of fame inductee(s) and recognize our years of service honorees.

2) Kickoff Meeting:   This meeting is more of a social event that consists of a "meet and greet" for new officials, association updates, and any rules changes.  Veterans that attend will receive credit toward their TWO required meetings.  THIS MEETING IS MANDATORY FOR ALL NEW OFFICIALS!

3) MSHSAA Rules Meeting & Part II Test: Held in November, this is the last of the THREE meetings. This is a MSHSAA approved Rules Meeting.  Our Rules Interpreter will discuss all rules changes, points of emphasis, and answer any rules questions offered by the membership. In addition, we will also complete the required MSHSAA Part II Rules Test, discuss any organizational announcements, and announce all Mentor/Mentee assignments.

Personal Advice: We would strive to go to every membership meeting possible. This is a reflection of your professionalism and your dedication to the SMBOA. In addition, the actual meetings are the primary sources for association-related information.
