SBAA Annual Board Member Elections |
The St. Brigid Athletic Association's board members are an annual re-elected position. We encourage all parish members to apply regardless of children in the program and/or previous service on the board. All current board members wanting to continue service should apply as well.
This is your chance to get involved! If you have any interest in helping out with the athletic board, this is the time. You can see a list of current board positions on https://www.gowolfhounds.com/board
If you would like more information about any of our board positions and/or to express interest, simply contact [email protected] by April 10th. The time commitment depends on the position, but for most positions is far less than you might expect - and you get to be involved with all our sports programs and initiatives.
While all positions are available, in particular we are actively looking for the following positions where existing board members are rolling off:
- Athletic Director
- Volleyball Commissioner
Board Elections will occur during the SBAA meeting on April 12th
