KIYL Community -
We are looking for a few good members - Board Members that is!
In accordance with our By-Laws, this message is to request nominations from the KIYL Community for Officer and Member at Large positions on the Kent Island Youth Lacrosse Board of Directors for the 2020-2021 program year. We have three Officer positions up for re-election this year (Men's Commissioner, Women's Commissioner, Secretary) in addition to seeking to appoint at least four Members at Large to populate the Committees and sub-Commissioner roles. Our current Commissioners and Secretary have been in their roles for several years and are committed to passing their knowledge on to future Officers over the next term. All we need is you!
The KIYL by-laws describing Board Member participation including Officers and Member at Large roles are located here: https://s3.amazonaws.com/files.leagueathletics.com/Text/Documents/3614/95949.pdf From the practical side of things, we aim to meet monthly (lately it has been virtual meetings) in the evenings, and there are Committee actions to be accomplished between meetings such as organizing spiritwear sales and planning player recruitment clinics. Officers have specific duties as described, and Members at Large participate in Standing or Temporary Committees (like the Equipment / Uniform / Trophy Committee). No prior coaching or even lacrosse experience necessary nor will you be asked to coach or be a team parent next season (though that is certainly welcome). The only requirement is you have a child in (or anticipate enrollment in the next Spring season) the program, and have the ability to participate in the planning and execution of KIYL business consistently throughout the fall/winter/spring. If you have a desire to get involved and help define what the next few years of KIYL will be about, this is your opportunity!
To nominate someone (including yourself) to a Board Member or Member at Large position, please respond to this message or email us at
with the following information no later than AUG 21, 2020:
- Nominee's Full Name
- Position you are nominating them for (Men's Commissioner, Women's Commissioner, Secretary, or Member at Large)
