A standard two-year term for the following positions:
1. Vice President
2. Director, Northwest
3. Director, East
4. Director, West

1. President
2. Director at Large (one position)
3. Director, South
4. Director, North

Directors roles are governance-focussed positions. You don’t run a region and you are not obligated to organize games. However, you may still be involved in game organization if you desire. You will participate and/or lead committees. Your commitment would be to advocate for our mission by making informed and sound decisions, and provide guidance for the Executive Director through a strategic plan to set the course for the future. There are 4-6 Board meetings per year, including the Annual Members’ Meeting (AMM), which you are expected to attend. Meetings may be held in person or online (video conferencing sure cuts down on travel, but we do need to meet face-2-face sometimes).

Youth is welcome at all ages above 18 years old.  You can’t have any conflict of interest – this means,

  • you can’t have a Director position on an associated Member of SNB – you can still play, coach or referee – keep doing that stuff – we need you.
  • You can’t sell stuff or services to SNB or a Member of SNB.

These are volunteer positions but there are benefits:

– you’ll work with the community to improve the beautiful game in NB.

– reasonable expenses are covered for attending in-person meetings and activities that you contribute to.

– you’ll get some SNB swag.

Interested candidates should complete the nomination form below and send their expression of interest to : admin@soccernb.org
