At this year’s AGM, we will be electing/re-electing four (4) Board of Director positions for two year terms. They are:

  • Secretary
  • Treasurer
  • Members-at-Large (2)

We encourage our members to strongly consider running for the Board. Joining the Board is great opportunity to meet other members, learn about the club’s operations and share your skills and knowledge to create a great experience for our skaters and their families.

The time commitment for a Board Member averages of 4 to 6 hours a month (which includes a monthly business meeting). Typically Board members work on event planning, volunteer coordination, promotions, communications and other areas as time and interest permits.

Nominations for the above listed positions are now open. You are able to nominate a club member for election or re-election to the above positions. Email your nominations to [email protected] prior to the AGM. We will also take nominations from the floor at the meeting.

If you would like more information about the Board, Board positions or other ways to be involved with the club, we invite you to connect with any of our current Board Members (listed below) or contact the current Club President, Cathy Chang at [email protected]

We value your time. By attending our AGM, you will be able to log three (3) volunteer credits towards your total required 12 credits for the Fall & Winter Session.

As we will be serving dinner, we appreciate that you please RSVP by emailing [email protected] so that we are able to order appropriate quantities.
