The People Behind the Scenes

We present the people who help run our club. While many members chip in with practice setup, teardown, clubhouse maintenance, etc., these are the "official" positions that ensure the club remains viable, is in good standing as a non-profit organization, and makes sound decisions.

At each year's Annual General Meeting, the positions are reviewed and members (re-)elected.

All are volunteer positions, and we encourage cross-pollination of knowledge so that transitions are smooth and enjoyable.
  • We encourage any of our adult members to consider being a Board member, and/or helping with the Support Positions.
  • Don't be shy to get involved. You'll be rewarded with the satisfaction of helping a diverse range of skaters achieve their goals, the ability to help direct our Club as it grows, and, last but not least, lots and lots of karma!
