LRYHA Board Of Directors Elections & Appointments
Each year, and in order to maintain some consistency on the LRYHA Board of Directors, elections for some board positions become open while others are held on alternating years. In addition, each year the Board appoints a number of positions to the Board as these appointed positions require certain knowledge, ability and background as may be required by the LRYHA By-Laws, policy, League and/or USA Hockey. Appointed positions are for a one year term while elected positions are for a two year term.
