Board of Directors

The Board of Directors is ultimately accountable for competent stewardship and long term development of East Kootenay Volleyball Club. The Board, as a whole, provides leadership for the association through strategic planning and organizational policies that set out priorities, values and limitations on staff and committee actions.

The Board monitors the Executive Director’s performance.

The Board of Directors has a minimum of seven(7) and a maximum of eleven (11) directors. During the first meeting of directors following the AGM, the board will elect from its own number the President, Vice-President, Secretary, and Treasurer as officers of the association.

Terms of Office

The directors will serve one to three-year terms, dependent on the position and will hold office until their successors have been duly elected in accordance with the association By-Laws.
