The Board of Directors plays a key role in guiding the East Kootenay Volleyball Club and ensuring it thrives for years to come. Together, the Board provides leadership through strategic planning and policies that set the tone for our priorities and values. They delegate tasks to the Operations Director or Administrator to put these policies into action across programs, finance, and marketing, all while keeping an eye on the Club's community impact and engagement.
Composition of the Board
Our Board has between seven and eleven directors. After the Annual General Meeting (AGM), the Board will elect its officers—President, Vice-President, Secretary, and Treasurer—from among its members.
Terms of Office
Directors start with a one-year trial term before becoming eligible for longer positions that can last from one to three years, depending on the role. Directors will stay on until their successors are elected according to the club’s bylaws.
Characteristics of a Director of the Board
We're looking for board members who enjoy seeing the bigger picture and understand how different parts of the national and provincial volleyball systems work together. Ideal candidates should have strong people skills, be great team players, and have some experience in business practices, it's a bonus if that is in a non-profit setting. A community-minded approach is crucial; we want individuals who are passionate about fostering connections within our volleyball community and who prioritize the needs of all members, not just their own. Plus, a willingness to volunteer time is essential since Board members are encouraged to support a program committee, either as a chair or a member, to help drive initiatives that strengthen our community and promote inclusivity within the club.
Interested in becoming a Board Member?
The Board meets twelve times a year, and we ask that members attend at least nine of those meetings. Each meeting runs for about 1 to 1.5 hours, and you’ll receive agendas and supporting documents.
Being a board member is a great chance to get involved and help build a strong volleyball community together!
