BOARD APPLICATIONS (CLOSED)
Per the
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.
Any current member of the NVMHAI can be nominated and voted in for any OPEN position at the AGM by applying online via
this form. If there are multiple nominees for a position then members in attendance at the AGM can vote to decide who will assume that role for the next 2-year term.
If a position is currently "VACANT", and has only one applicant, then that nominee will assume the position at the AGM.
The AGM is held at the end of April, every year. The specific date for this years AGM has yet to be finalized but should be one of the last two weekends in April. Stay tuned for the date and time.
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.
