CNRA is pleased to announce that Derek Francois will become the CNRA Registrar, effective Monday, November 16. In this role, Derek will be responsible for all elements of the registration process, helping new and existing referees with all aspects of the registration process. Many referees will already be familiar with Derek, as he has served for the past year as an Assistant Registrar, communicating with referees frequently about their registration needs.
Derek replaces Chris Elliott, who has served as the Registrar since 2013. Chris is stepping away from this role to focus on his budding MLS career, but will maintain an advisory role with CNRA to provide technical assistance to Derek. We thank Chris sincerely for his commitment to CNRA over the past seven years, wish him continued success on the field, and look forward to continuing to work with him to serve referees in Northern California.
Please continue to send any registration questions or concerns to [email protected].
Please join us in thanking Chris for his many years of service to our referee community, and welcome Derek to this new role.
Sincerely,
Said Ravanfar, State Referee Administrator
