Andrew Boyd Stepping Down As Club Referee Rep

Andrew Boyd has an eye for soccer.

Andrew Boyd has been Eastside FC's referee representative for the last 6 years.  He's finally stepping down and we'd like to thank him for such a great contribution.

Here's a little bit about the job he has so ably done for the club.  It involves being the liaison between the referee community and the club. The primary duties of the role are:

1. Assist the registrar in loading games to the referee website to facilitate getting quality refs assigned to EFC matches.

2. Maintain the "Teams Table" on the referee site.

3. Manage the Referee in Pool program, and ensure that each team has a representative for their team.

4. Coordinate with the EFC Treasurer regarding which teams have met their Referee in Pool commitment
5. Work with EFC Leadership and EKCSRA leadership when game protests, red cards, or other significant issues happen that need attention.

7. Public speaking at the EFC orientation nights recruiting parents and older players to become a referee.

8. Represent EFC on the EYSA Referee Committee.

9. Organize Referee training classes for new referees.

Andrew is also the State Treasurer for the Washington State Referee Committee, which serves Washington State Youth Soccer (all youth matches in Washington), and Washington State Soccer Association (all amature USSF adult matches in Washington). As Treasurer, he coordinates all the payments for the organization, and serve the 5,000 referees in Washington as one of the 6 voting members of the committee leadership team. Andrew will be concentrating his efforts on the committee agenda in the future.

Thanks, Andrew!!
