NVMHAI Bylaws each Board Member is renominated every 2 years. This is an open and transparent process that allows the NVMHAI membership (you) to have a direct say in the administration of Minor Hockey in Newcastle.
Each year at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) members wishing to serve another 2-year term are re-voted in by the NVMHAI membership.

FAQ
Q: Who qualifies as a NVMHAI Member?
A: NVMHAI members are categorized into three main groups, each with specific qualifications and voting rights (NVMHAI Bylaws 7.1):
- Active Membership: This group includes elected or appointed Directors, officials, convenors, coaches, managers, trainers for the current season, and registered players who are at least 18 years of age and have paid their registration fees. Members in this category are entitled to one vote per registered family at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) or any other general meetings.
- Parent/Guardian Membership: Parents or legal guardians of registered players under 18 years old, in good standing, fall into this category. A custodial couple or a single parent is entitled to one vote and can attend the AGM, other general meetings, and, if invited, Board and Committee meetings.
- Honorary Lifetime Membership: Individuals who have provided extraordinary service to NVMHA can be nominated for this prestigious non-voting membership, which is confirmed by a majority Board vote. Honorary members may attend AGM and other meetings as guests.
