The Manitoba Association of Basketball Officials (MABO) has announced a series of upcoming virtual meetings open to all MABO members, focused on exploring the future structure of basketball officiating in the province.
Over the coming weeks, MABO will host two Zoom sessions to present and discuss ongoing exploratory work related to the evolution of the organization. These sessions will provide members with an overview of potential structural changes being considered to better align with the continued growth and increasing complexity of basketball across Manitoba.
As the sport continues to expand at all levels, MABO is proactively assessing how its governance and operations can adapt to meet current demands while positioning the organization for long-term sustainability and success.
As part of this process, MABO is collaborating with the Canadian Basketball Officials Commission (CBOC), which has developed a framework outlining a modernized model for officiating management across Canada. An introductory document prepared by CBOC has been shared with members to provide context and support informed discussion.
