{ Note the discrepancy relates to the notation in the Minutes which label Board members as Voting and NonVoting members.The voting rights of the appointed Board positions were removed as part of the Minnesota Swimming, Inc bylaw changes made at the 2001 House of Delegates meeting.Although approved locally, those changes are not deemed official until approved by USA-Swimming�s National office.It was discovered that those changes had not yet been sent to National due to miscommunication about who was responsible for sending them. However, as noted in the Administrative Vice-Chair�s report, Joel Shinofeld will be sending them to be approved. }
