Board of Directors

Would you like to become more involved in North Boulder Little League?  NBLL is organized and run by a volunteer Board of Directors.  Many of the current board members have kids in their last year of Little League, and others have volunteered for many years and are ready to scale back their committment.

We need your help to keep NBLL successful!  A taste of some of the board positions are below.

Time Commitment

Attend regular Board meetings which are typically held once per month (weekday evenings).  Sometimes additional meetings are required in March/April and fewer meetings are required in the off-season.  We try to keep meetings to 90 minutes or less.

Additional time commitment varies depending on your role on the board.  January-April is typically our busiest season as we prepare our spring season.  Division VPs are quite busy in March as we assign coaches, build rosters, assemble schedules, and kick off the season.  Once the season starts the time commitment winds down.  Summer is slower for most roles, aside from those involved with All-Stars. Fall is our time to catch our breath, but also take care of things like financial reports and ordering uniforms and equipment.

How is the Board formed?

NBLL is governed by a Constitution and Bylaws in line with our Little League Charter.  The Constitution allows a Board to be elected by NBLL voting members.  Voting members are people who pay the $5 membership fee for the upcoming fiscal year.  We send that registration out in September every year, along with an election for the upcoming board slate.

Director terms are for one fiscal year, beginning October 1st every year.

Vacant seats may be filled at any time with appointment and approval of the Board.

What positions are open?
