We are looking for enthusiastic people who want to help Sovereign Lake Nordic Centre continue to offer the finest Nordic skiing anywhere (in our humble opinion). The main requirement to be a Board member is a commitment to Sovereign Lake, an ability to spend 8-12 hours per month on Board activities including a once-per month Board meeting, and the willingness to commit to a 2-year term on the Board.
In alignment with the club’s bylaws, nominations close at midnight on October 8 and nominations cannot be submitted from the floor at the AGM. You must submit your application in advance.
To put your name forward, please complete a brief bio (items to include are listed below) and email it to the SLNC Election Committee members. Bios will be posted on the SLNC web site at least 5 days prior to the AGM.
