It seems strange that we are fast approaching the end of another hockey season, and with all of the excitement that accompanies playoffs, State Tournaments, and Festivals, we do have an important election coming up for three (3) Board of Directors positions: Vice President – Administration, Public Relations Director and Community Development Director who will serve three (3) year terms.

SAYHA is (and always has been) a primarily volunteer-driven organization. Our Board of Directors is committed to working hard to make Spokane Youth Hockey the premier organization in our region, and we are in need of additional dedicated Board members to join our team!

Below are the job descriptions and time commitment involved with the position, along with the contact information of the volunteer who currently holds the position. If you are interested in any of these roles in our organization, please make an effort to attend our Board of Director meetings and/or reach out to the person who is currently involved to ask questions about what the role entails. Being a member of the Board of Directors is a second “job” and requires a high level of commitment and involvement from those who hold the position.

The full election schedule is also available (above), along with our current organizational chart (below). Please make note of the dates and times of meetings for applicants and candidates. Should you have any questions or concerns, please contact our Interim Executive Director, Nicole Adams.
