Nominations for the 2024 Grand Pickleball Board are now open. All current members of the club are eligible, and may submit their name to fill the following open positions:

President

As a reminder, each board position requires a two year commitment. Board members holding the vice president, secretary, and two member at large positions, were elected this year, and will finish their first term on December 31, 2024. 

Job descriptions are attached.

If you are interested in any of the open positions, please send an email to me using the email address below.

You will receive a confirming email.

Email is the only acceptable form of a nomination.

Current board members whose two year term expires at December 31, 2023, AND wishing to serve another term, are subject to the same email requirements.

No oral nominations will be accepted.

Nominations will close at the later of 11-25-23, or when we have a candidate for each open position. 

An election will take place at our December general meeting. You must be present at that meeting to vote.
