Our next league meeting, per our MILL Constitution, will be Wednesday, October 1st, 6:30 PM, South Field. At this meeting, positions/responsibilities will be determined for the upcoming season. I have provided a brief overview of the following board positions per the Little League Operating Manual. Please carefully review the following positions which are available;
-
President- Assumes full responsibility for the operation of the local league.
-
Vice President- Presides in the absence of the President. Carries out duties/assignments delegated by the President.
-

-
Treasurer- Responsible for league finances, dispenses checks, keeps league financial records, prepares budget.
-

-

-
Coaching Coordinator- Represents coaches/managers in the league, implements training sessions/clinics, and provides training supplies for coaches.
-

Once a volunteer expresses interest within a position, the board must ratify with a majority vote. In addition, we will be forming two committees at the meeting, MILL Local Rules and Constitution. It would be prudent to have a minimum of 4-5 volunteers per committee. Each committee will meet to discuss/review possible changes, amendments to both mandated Little League documents. Our MILL Board of Directors may vote to amend any local rule. Our General Membership must ratify proposed changes to our Constitution.
Thanks for your cooperation and consideration. The success and effectiveness of a local little league is predicated on volunteers. I’m hoping we can function collectively and cohesively for the children. If you have any further questions or concerns, please forward.
Regards,
Jack
