Our Board of Directors serve not as a single team representative; they serve as a member representatives of the entirety of our Club. Each year, new Board positions become available to members who wish to serve our Club. We have 9 members who each serve (typically) a 2 year term. In even number years, 4 positions become available for election/re-election; in odd number years, 5 positions become available for election/re-election.

Board Members participate in four quarterly meetings and occasional special sessions (as needed). Members are encouraged to participate in a Board Development session(s) intended to train them for their duties.

All Board of Directors are required to be background checked, and to take the SafeSport training course.

Please complete this form to be listed for the coming election. Candidate summaries will be sent to the Club membership in mid December for consideration. The annual Board of Director Election occurs in January of each calendar year.
