![]() Because of the rapid growth in the homeschool forensics movement and the birth of Christy Shipe's second daughter (Rachael) three weeks ago, HSLDA is in the process of forming a new, independent organization to manage the program. This new organization, The National Christian Forensics and Communication Association (NCFCA), will be led by a seven-member board of directors:
Our thanks to Christy Shipe, who started this league and has invested the past several years in developing it. Christy is retiring to motherhood, but will continue to be involved at the board level. This was her last tournament. Christy received the Pioneer Award via telephone for her efforts. |

![]() Here is a quick update from the National Tournament held in San Diego June 22-24. It was a wonderful tournament with a lot of enthusiasm and participation from parents and students alike. The addition of IE and LD to the National Tournament resulted in a total of 167 participants, including 47 debate teams and 12 LD participants. Many students were entered in multiple events. Todd Cooper and his large volunteer staff did a wonderful job of keeping many balls in the air at the same time. Thanks to all who helped out. While we are all delighted for those who won in each event, let us keep in mind the larger goal of this league: Christian communication. Judges and observers were very favorably impressed with the conduct, the demeanor, and the communication skills of our students. Each student was a credit to his or her family and to our Lord. Every student who attended the tournament was a winner. Congratulations to each of you! |
