Dear NBBA Membership,
\nDuring the board meeting on August 10, 2024, following the World Series, I shared my intention to provide regular updates to the membership. I\u2019m pleased to present my first Presidential Report as we begin planning for the 2025 World Series.<\/p>\n

NBBA Committees<\/h2>\n

We have identified fourteen committees to support our journey to Saint Charles in 2025. Information about these committees, their leadership, responsibilities, and ways to get involved can be found on our website. Each committee will be meeting to discuss their projects ahead of the Fall Board Meeting on November 16, 2024.

Major League Baseball World Series Program Feature<\/h2>\n

The Board has approved funding for a full-page feature on Beep Baseball in the 2024 Major League Baseball World Series Program at a discounted rate. The Public Relations Committee has created a new brochure to maintain brand consistency, and fundraising efforts will address this expense. This feature will be available at both team ballparks throughout the World Series and online.<\/p>\n

Statistical Research and Development<\/h2>\n

Our Statistical Research and Development Committee is currently engaging with three sports technology platforms to enhance membership administration, track historical statistics, and improve electronic scorekeeping. We are actively reviewing costs and accessibility options. Platforms considered include:<\/p>\n

\n
• Sport:80<\/a><\/li>\n
• Techopolis Online Solutions<\/a><\/li>\n
• FUTPlayerCards<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  Recent Press Release<\/h2>\n

  NBBA Public Relations recently released a statement congratulating the Fire and the Archers on their outstanding performances during the World Series.

  Upcoming Events<\/h2>\n

  While not officially sanctioned by the NBBA, we extend our best wishes to everyone participating in the Texas Shootout in Tyler and the 2024 Beep Baseball All-Star event sponsored by TAPI Sports. To stay informed about these events, please monitor various social media platforms. NBBA will strive to share updates, and we encourage you to do the same whenever Beep Baseball is streamed.

  Thank you for your continued support!
  \n\u201cDo not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.\u201d

  Onward & forward,
  \nYou Get My Best Always,
