You Don't Have To Be a Politician!
Jake Barkdoll
Nominations Committee Chair

     If you are interested in supporting and encouraging volleyball in the Chesapeake Region, you should definitely consider becoming a Board member.  All that’s required is a positive attitude and a proactive approach to tackling issues.  Early next year, players, coaches, officials, and all members of the Region will elect eight people to the CHRVA Board of Directors.  About half the Board is elected each year to assure continuity.  Board members are involved in a variety of activities to promote high quality volleyball  throughout the Region not only at the local level but also at the National and International levels as well.  Board members often have special interests in junior, adult, and/or senior play or officiating; but, in the end, they work together to make volleyball a very positive “whole-life” experience for all.

     So, if you believe volleyball is a great sport, and you’d like to add your experience, opinions, and expertise to discussions at four board meetings held each year, nominate yourself by giving me a call at 301-987-8596 or sending me an email at jake.barkdoll@chrva.org.  Or, if you know someone whom you think would make a valuable contribution as a Board member, notify me with his or her name and contact information, and I’ll follow up from there.

     The official deadline for nominations is March 1, 2003 but please don’t wait until then to alert us of your interest.  The schedule for preparing official ballots and conducting other election related activities is usually very tight so we need to get an early start.

     If you think you might be interested but have some questions, doubts, or concerns, please contact any of the current Board members.  They will be glad to tell you about their experiences on the Board.  Their names, phone numbers, and email addresses appear on the back cover of the DIGS newsletter.  Board membership is just one more way to enjoy your favorite sport.
