Call for Nominations for the Board of Directors

A Message from Rugby Ontario Board Chair, Brian Crothers

Dear Rugby Community Members

As we approach our Annual General Meeting, the time has come for nominations to be tendered for Rugby Ontario’s Board of Directors.  There will be some significant turn over on the Board this year and we’re seeking qualified individuals to volunteer to serve on the board.  Candidates will preferably have rugby administration experience.  We are looking for volunteers with various professional experience, including, but not limited to; finance / accounting, legal, human resources and governance.  I would be happy to chat with anyone interested in submitting their candidacy for the Board.  Please feel free to email me (chair@rugbyontario.ca) with any questions you might have about serving on the Board, or to arrange a time for call.

Sincerely,

Brian Crothers
