Getting Involved
Board positions are elected at the annual meeting in September. Any Regular Member (an adult actively supporting the league) is eligible to run. If you’re interested in serving on the board or joining a committee, reach out to any current board member or attend the annual meeting.
You don’t have to be on the board to contribute — the league also has optional committees for nominations, finances, property, umpiring, and more. See the Constitution for details on committee structure.
