Executive Board - Vacant Positions

NMHA is still looking to fill positions on the Executive Board:

• Ways & Means Coordinator
• Tournament and Special Events Coordinator

President’s Message

On behalf of the Board of Directors of Nanaimo Minor Hockey I would like to welcome you to the 2010-2011 hockey season. While September and the first ice times seem to be a long way off the Board has already begun the task of ensuring the season is a positive hockey experience for all of our players.

In order to be successful we need to have all Board positions filled. At present there are two vacant Board positions, Ways & Means and Director of Tournaments and Special Events. If you would like to find out what these positions entail please check the NMHA Policy and Procedures on the web or contact Vicky at the Clubhouse.

The strength of any non-profit organization is measured by the number and dedication of its volunteers and NMHA has been fortunate in both quality and quantity.

Don’t hesitate to contact one of us if you feel we can help but please bear in mind that we are not being compensated for our efforts and many of us have families and jobs that also deserve some of our attention. We are also required to abide by regulations mandated by the National, Provincial and Island organizations. Our decisions are frequently made because of these regulations. Board meetings are open to members although if you wish to make a submission you should contact Vicky and asked to be put on the agenda as a delegate. A written summary of your submission would be helpful.

I would also ask that each of you remember that Vicky is an employee of the Association as well as an NMHA member. As an employee she reports to the President who can be contacted if there are any concerns. She does not vote at the Board meetings nor does she make or interpret policy. If there is an issue involving policy then a Board member should be contacted. She is entitled to a safe work site and to be treated with the civility and respect one would accord any employee in any workplace.

Nanaimo Minor Hockey – Member Advisory Update

The board of directors has received feedback with respect to the fee increases for the upcoming season.

There was significant concern with respect to the impact of financial hardship this increase creates for a large portion of our membership.  Such an increase for many would make Minor Hockey unaffordable and have a impact on our overall registration numbers.

The board has revisited the proposed budget and as a result has reduced the overall increase to $60 per player, with approximately $20 allocated to the legal assessment.  While we feel that the legal fees could reach the estimated amount, we are hopeful that they do not.  As such a portion has been budgeted for the 2010/2011 season, and should a shortfall occur, recovery will made via assessment in subsequent years.

Sincerely
Nanaimo Minor Hockey Board of Directors

PS: Registration forms sent out, April 1, 2010, reflect the correct increase of $60.
