The role of the USTA Missouri Valley Parent Advisory Committee (PAC) will be to act as a liaison between parents of players and the Missouri Valley Office. The committee will meet regularly with the USTA Missouri Valley staff to provide positive and negative feedback and express concerns/ suggestions that they receive from other parents from the Missouri Valley. The committee will not be involved in any decision making processes that pertain to the Missouri Valley Junior Circuit. The committee’s role will be strictly to provide feedback to Missouri Valley Staff in hopes of improving the overall process for junior players competing on the junior circuit.
