New BOWL.com login
In the coming days, BOWL.com users will notice a new option on the website which allows them to create a BOWL.com ID. This functionality is in its preliminary stages, but will be used in the coming weeks for members to access benefits of the Activate and Welcome 2 Bowling programs. In the future this login will be used for delegate registration for upcoming USBC Conventions as well as other member-only sections of BOWL.com.

Please be aware of this new addition to the website and be sure to communicate this information with the league secretaries and members within your association as well.

USBC association logos
In an effort to further enhance USBC’s brand recognition, we have created logos designed for association use. Any associations that don’t already have their approved logos can contact their Regional Managers and request them. To find out who your Regional Manager is, please go to BOWL.com/associations, or click here.

In addition, any materials received by USBC Headquarters containing incorrect logos will be corrected, and the association will receive the proper logos for future use.

Association Representative Program webinar
How well do your bowlers know you? Do the proprietors in your association know the directors on your board?

There is one answer to this question: Communication! Join Regional Manager Jim Zebehazy as he guides you through the steps in creating an effective program called the Association Representative Program. This program can be developed for associations of all sizes.

This one-on-one communication tool can improve all aspects of your association. It is designed to help build proprietor relations, improve tournament participation, and, ultimately, assure that your bowlers know your association and what you do for them. These webinars will be held on Monday, Sept. 24 at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. Eastern. If there is enough interest, more sessions will be added.

To register, send your name, association name and email address to jim.zebehazy@bowl.com.

Please remember that each webinar is limited to 25 participants, so the first 25 to register for each session will be guaranteed spots.
