Board members of a not-for-profit organization serve as fiduciaries, guiding the organization toward a sustainable future. They do this by upholding ethical, legal, and responsible governance and financial practices, and by ensuring the organization has sufficient resources to pursue its mission and serve its community effectively. Our Saskatoon Adult Soccer board is no different.
Our Board of Directors play a vital role in ensuring the organization fulfills its mission ethically, legally, and sustainably.
The SAS Board of Directors oversee major decisions, helps with regular feedback/questions from the staff, and really drives the continued improvement of the league. The board is currently made up of many different backgrounds, and we are always looking for new perspectives to jump on "board".
Specific areas of expertise that SAS is looking to include are: finance, law, governance, strategic planning and risk assessment.
Current Board of Directors
SAS is governed by a voluntary Board of Directors. Our Executive and directors are:
To summarize the time commitment of a board member: there are six board meetings a year, as well as the Annual General Meeting (AGM). Other than the board meetings, a board member may have 2 - 5 committee meetings in a year. We do require a majority of Directors to attend each board meeting. Outside of meetings, there are email discussions to resolve numerous smaller items that do not require a board meeting. The board and committee meetings are held in-person most often at the Saskatoon Sports Centre but also occasionally at the Saskatoon Kinsmen / Henk Ruys Soccer Centre.
Directors also get involved by volunteering at our two tournaments (January Chills and Just for Kicks), support throughout indoor and outdoor playoffs, and panelists on discipline hearings.
Currently, SAS has seven pre-determined meetings throughout the year. The meetings take place during the week, and their typical range of dates are the following:
1. January: Post AGM Meeting
2. February - March: Outdoor Fees Approval
3. April: Indoor Review / Outdoor Alignment
4. June - July: Indoor Fees Approval
5: August - September: Outdoor Review / Indoor Alignment
6. November: Pre-AGM Board Meeting
7. December: AGM
