MISSION & PRINCIPALS

The PURPOSE of the Orono Football Association is to provide volunteer staffing and fund raising for the benefit of the Orono Football Program.

Our GOAL is to help provide our school athletes:

• An environment that allows the players to excel on and off the field
• The safest and best football equipment in the state of Minnesota
• The best high school football experience in the state of Minnesota

• We are transparent in our communication and behavior
• We are open and inclusive to all ideas and members
• We look for opportunities for our football program to support our community
• We place the program above our own personal interests
• We are authentic, respectful, and assume good intentions with one another

Head Coach: He is ultimately the leader of all things for the Orono Football Program. 

Board of Directors: President, Vice President, Treasurer, and Secretary. Overall responsible for management and direction of the Touchdown Club.

Class Representatives: Ideally 2 board positions per class. These representatives will be elected by members of their class only.

Their function is to represent their class through voting and serve as a conduit of information both to and from their grade level. They will also be asked to head up at least one fundraising activity.

Voting: Each member of the Board of Directors and all Class Representatives have 1 vote to ratify activities, fundraisers, spend, and the annual budget. The Head Football Coach reserves a veto on all decisions. Decisions pass with a 2/3 majority on any vote. Votes may be cast via email if a voting member is absent from a meeting. Voting will be conducted to authorize the annual budget, spend exceeding $1000 outside of the budget, board of director positions, and fundraising event selection.

Touchdown Club Members: Members of the Touchdown Club (TD Club) will receive all the benefits associated with a touchdown club membership and have a right to expect to be informed of all decisions and activities of the club. We value the ideas of all members and owe a response to any idea generated by a TD Club Member.

Servant Leadership

Servant Leaders consciously put the needs of others before their own, because to serve people is to value them. 

Teamwork through Trust & Respect

Diversity is strength, and when we trust and respect one another, we can work as a team to achieve at a high level.

Integrity

Being honest and transparent with people, in an effort to do the right thing within the letter and spirit of the law, drives every action we take and every decision we make.

Commitment to Player Enthusiasm

Every day we recommit ourselves to the player experience, and we are empowered to exceed the expectations of others.

Passion for Winning

Our Value of winning is based on the idea of striving to be the best, not the winningest, and is therefore defined by how we treat our team, the opponents and others.

Accountability at All Levels

Taking ownership of our actions and our decisions allows us to grow as individuals, and support each other as a team.

Commitment to Continuous Improvement

Every day we soften our hearts as well as our egos, in order to seek out and improve upon areas of opportunity within ourselves and our team.
