LMVSC TD

[Anonymous]

Script from the good ol' days in another lovely parent forum:


Take one of the youth clubs in Jeff McKay's own district: Lee Mount Vernon Sports Club (LMVSC). LMVSC charges the kids $1,800 to play travel soccer, plus team fees of hundreds of dollars. Their "Executive Director," Lula Bauer whines constantly about scholarship players, while pocketing $78,084 for her "services" each year. Her hard-working assistants, Tanya Barrows and Kelly Johnson, took only $6,000 and $6,490, respectively, but their part-time technical director, Estaban Maldonado takes $70,683. Even youth development director Mitchel Gore pockets $23,935. Unsurprisingly, all are members of the club's board of directors. They go to McKay with the "equity" bullshit to try to get million-dollar turf put on their fields for free. From the board's perspective, the money they pay these people is then good return on investment.

Contrast that with neighboring clubs Springfield-South County Youth Club and Annandale Boys and Girls Club. Using mostly volunteer parents, they hosted tournaments to raise money to install synthetic turf on school and park fields long ignored by the county. While ABGC does not have the money or political connections of the wealthy Mount Vernon residents, they manage to support hundreds of needy children who would not be able to afford afternoon sports. Neither of these clubs pay as much to their directors as LMVSC.

"Equity" is just another term for "give us more free stuff." It's not right. If these clubs want turf fields, let their highly-paid administrators figure out how to raise the money from within their own clubs.
What a load of crap.

I think you understated earnings of this nonprofit. Wouldn’t be surprised if those totals do not include the money paid to coach teams as well as the administrative duties of the ED.

Is there transparency in the organization, can we see the budget?

Not likely. Non-profits report very little info for public record and there isn’t much transparency.

Try not to use big words.

Then they won’t be able to stay as a nonprofit organization. Fiduciary transparency is part of being a nonprofit!

They hired all the syc left over coaches and made them technical directors. Coaching slate and tryouts will be out April 15th or so.

First off they were not left over coaches as they decided to leave on their own after being asked back with the exception of Lee. Outside of Lee only 1 is a director (not technical director). Just like mentioned on SYC page, they are now scrambling for coaches after they expected those that left to return.

I wonder why the Board of Directors has allowed this to happen with no accountability.

Why what has happened? Was someone unqualified hired? Was someone qualified fired? Were the club finances mismanaged?

You are a moron, the club didn't do anything wrong. They lost a TD, went through the hiring process to replace him, restructured their organization to better meet the needs of their players, families, and coaches, hired coaches to replace those being vacated by others leaving to go with prior TD or for their own reasons as is the norm. Unlike many other clubs, they actually care about the people that are part of their membership and are trying to improve the club and move it in the correct direction.
