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!!

Constitution & By Laws:
A new

at our recent Annual General Meeting and will be posted
here soon.
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.
