Review our FUND-RAISING ACTIVITIES


THANK YOU BARBADOS-AMERICAN

The United States of America Netball Association (“USANA”) would like to thank the Barbados-American Charitable Organization of New Jersey (“BACONJ”) for its generous donation in support of USA Youth Netball Squad to participate in the 2009 World Youth Netball Championship to be held in the Cook Islands from August 10 - 19, 2009. 

BACONJ, located in Plainfield, NJ,  is a 501(3) not-for-profit organization.  Their mission is to provide financial assistance to those in need in the U.S.A, Caribbean and around the World.  You can learn more about the organization by visiting their website at http://www.baconj.org.

Since netball is a growing sport in the United States and still lacks wide-spread popularity, corporate sponsorship has not been readily forth-coming. Most of the cost of the USA team attending the World Championship games is through fund-raising efforts by USANA, its Member, and the Squad.  We are therefore grateful for BACONJ’s contribution to USANA’s fund-raising goals for the Squad.

A MESSAGE FROM USANA'S PRESIDENT, SAUNDRA GRAY:

I am honored that the USANA membership has elected me to be their President. My emphasis is on youth development and achieving USANA’s goal of Netball being included in the school curriculum across the country. We can use the successful model currently working in California and New Jersey. With everyone working together to spread the great sport of Netball we can and will be able to meet this challenge.   Parents, friends, relatives, clubs and State organizations all have a role to play. I sincerely encourage all to work together, get involved at any level, help at your local, regional or national level. We all have a role to play and great ideas to share as we build and take Netball into the second decade of the 21st century.

LET’S PLAY NETBALL!!

    USANA Code of Conduct

    This Code of Conduct was adopted by the USANA Executives and General Council on ________________________ and can only be amended at a gathered quorum of the General Council by a simple majority vote. This code governs all Full, Associate and Affiliated members. Ignorance of this code will not be accepted as defense for Disciplinary Action placed on anyone for actions done after the above date.

    Preamble

    Commitment to ethical professional conduct is expected of every member (voting members, associate members, and affiliate members) of the United States of America Netball Association (USANA).

    This Code, consisting of imperatives formulated as statements of personal responsibility and identifies the elements of such a commitment. It contains many, but not all, issues members are likely to face.
    Section 1 outlines fundamental ethical considerations, while Section 2 addresses additional, more specific considerations of member conduct. Statements in Section 3 pertain more specifically to individuals who have a leadership role, whether in the National or Local Associations, club or team; or in a volunteer capacity such as with organizations like USANA. Principles involving compliance with this Code are given in Section 4. Principles covering National Representatives and Delegates are covered in Section 5.

    The Code is intended to serve as a basis for ethical decision making in the conduct of netball affairs. Secondarily, they may serve as a basis for judging the merit of a formal complaint pertaining to violation of any member ethical standards.

    Section1. This Code is concerned with how these fundamental imperatives apply to one's conduct as a Netball representative. These imperatives are expressed in a general form to emphasize that ethical principles which apply to Netball ethics are derived from more general ethical principles.

    It is understood that some words and phrases in a code of ethics are subject to varying interpretations, and that any ethical principle may conflict with other ethical principles in specific situations. Questions related to ethical conflicts can best be answered by thoughtful consideration of fundamental principles, rather than reliance on detailed regulations.
