Club Governance

    Board of Directors

    The Bowling Green Curling Club is an all volunteer organization. The Board of Directors is made up of 6 elected members, each of whom serves a 3-year term. Two new board members are elected at the annual member’s meeting each year. In addition, the Board appoints a Treasurer, who serves on the Board, and each league appoints a representative (typically the drawmaster) to serve on the Board. The Board then selects a President, a Vice President, and a Secretary from among its members. These officers serve renewable one-year terms.
