A DIRECTOR’S ROLE
A Squash BC Board Director has several key aspects of their role, all of which contribute to the success of our organization:
- Meetings: The Squash BC Board of Directors meets approximately every second month. These meetings are crucial to the strategic direction of our organization, as key decisions are made through motions. Directors play an essential role in these meetings, both through their votes and active participation in discussions.
- Committees & Task Forces: Squash BC Directors can act as a liaison for our Board on any of our Standing Committees. Directors who take on this role share the activities of the committee with the rest of the Board, as well as bringing information from relevant Board discussions to the committee. Board Directors also can sit on Task Forces that convene to tackle projects alongside our staff and community volunteers.
- Advocacy & Representation: Squash BC Directors represent our organization. It is important that all Directors stay informed about what is happening in our organization and present an open door for discussions with our community at key events. Squash BC strives to have Board representation at all Provincial Championships and other key events.
