Manatee Odyssey is Under New Management (9/7/2016)

Hello All! Matthew Whaley, the former Regional Director of Manatee Region Odyssey of the Mind has stepped up to the Association Director of Florida! We are all very happy for him as he takes on his new responsibility! That being said, Manatee Region has a new Regional Director - Daphne Moore. If you have participated in Odyssey of the Mind in Manatee Region, you have certainly met her as she has been involved in the Region since 2011, most recently as Matt's Co-Director for the past two Odyssey Seasons. The contact information on this website is her phone number and email address, if you need anything. And she is awesome, really, but she is by no means doing this alone! The Manatee Regional Board is still comprised of almost all the lovely people you know (plus a few more!) Please be patient with us as this will be a year of learning! We have new leadership, new schools, new teams, new coaches, a brand new year and we are all excited to get it under way! We will be updating the website with dates and information as soon as we can!
