The VSL Wants YOU!
Filed Under AGM, Announcements | Comments Off on The VSL Wants YOU!
Nominations are now being accepted for board members for next season. For more information on duties and expectations please check our ABOUT US page.
Who should apply?
If you are a member of the VSL, you’ve read the above linked page and would like to help out, consider declaring your candidacy. Or if you know someone who would make a good board member, you can nominate them. Anyone who plays in the VSL is eligible to sit on our board.
We would LOVE to have a club professional or a Div 1 player on the board. Join us!
How are board members elected?
All declarations and nominations must be submitted to the League Coordinator via email (info at vancouversquashleague dot com) one week prior to the AGM, which will be held this year on Saturday, April 28, 2018. (If you’re nominating someone please make sure you include their email address so we can confirm they are indeed interested.) At the AGM, you will be asked to speak for 2-3 minutes about your background and your hopes and objectives for your term on the Board. Voting will then be done by secret ballot, and successful candidates announced at that AGM.
About 30% of the Board is elected each year, with terms lasting two years, to provide some continuity on a year-to-year basis.
