The NCR is also charged with developing relationships with other international Taekwondo Programs and to broaden and facilitate officiating opportunities for AAU certified officials abroad.
Officials Program Administrator

The Officials Program Administrator will work directly with the Clinic Administrators from across the country to process information about those that have attended clinics. Maintain a database of information about Officials and Coaches that will be used in order to conduct local, regional and national competition. Work with Clinic Administrators (CAs) to insure that they are given the information and materials that are needed to train the most highly informed Officials in the country. Update the Officials Database with information on attendance and upgrades of Officials at local, regional and national competition. Compile a list of those that are certified for use by those conducting sanctioned events. Work with the National Executive Committee to make sure that the Officials’ Program is being run effectively.
