I sent the following questions about the USATF Youth situation to Jill Geer and she was kind enough to respond:
1. Can I please have an official list of who was suspended? There are conflicting lists of who is and is not suspended and it is very confusing.
~~~
The Youth Executive Committee suspended by the Board are: Lionel Leach, Ron Mascarenas, Kenneth Ferguson, Dorothy Dawson, Linda Ellis, Linda Phelps, Norine Richardson, Henry McCallum, David Reinhardt, Inez Finch, Marc Jones, Mary Elizabeth Aude and Jaqueline White.
~~~
2. If Karen Krsak is NOT suspended, why is she no longer appearing on the National Office website as Chair of Associations?
~~~
Karen Krsak's membership is current and active. Thanks for the heads-up that she wasn't populating on the directory; that has been fixed.
~~~
3. What is Robin Brown Beamon's current role with the National Office?
~~~
[no response was given to this question]
~~~
4. Will Robin be the meet director for JOs this summer?
~~~
The Junior Olympics are being managed by the experienced LOC in Sacramento. Because of the current suspensions, supplemental meet management roles will be filled by USATF volunteers from throughout the country who have indicated their willingness to assist. The USATF events team will support the meet as we do for other national championships.

5. Can anyone clarify this quote from the Associations minutes from the 2016 Annual Meeting? "the Florida Association is suspended, but has a stay until 2016"

Accreditation is handled by the accreditation subcommittee of the Associations Committee. Regarding the Florida Association, it is our understanding that their accreditation status was suspended for voting rights but that was stayed through 2016 and their voting rights remain intact. The subcommittee can provide you with more information.
