The North years led to the emergence of a meaningful Junior Development program; the beginnings of regional management, including an international region; the formation of the players’ committee; the upgrading of communications with the APTA membership; and the beginnings of solid financial based planning in APTA Board activities.

In the first issue of Paddle Talk in September, New President Cecil North Jr., expressed his views on the issues facing the APTA.
