Board Members elected at the awards banquet in March 2008. This board serves from September 2008 through August 2009. (See 2007-2008 Board)

A process to revise the Countryside YMCA Torpedoes Swim Team Boosters Constitution was begun in 2001 and has proceeded sporadically ever since. We picked up the effort early this year and hope to have a completely revised and updated constitution sometime in October 2008. The constitution as it currently exists has several areas where it shows its age and doesn’t fully reflect how the Swim Team Boosters and the Board has grown to function. There are also many more positions of responsibility that allow the team to function, but are not part of the elected Board. The title of “Vice-President” is just one example of how times have changed. While I hope to present a ready-to-approve document at the Board meeting in October, there can be no formal adoption of a new constitution until it has been first approved by the Countryside YMCA Aquatic Committee and YMCA Board of Directors.

The Countryside YMCA Aquatic Committee approved the Constitution on February 11th, 2009 and the YMCA Board of Directors was scheduled to meet on February 19th.

This is the Swim Team Boosters Constitution as presented.

The Booster Board normally meets on the second Monday of each month in the classroom behind Holly Colón’s office next to the Family Aquatic Center.

The next meeting will be on the normal date.

Nomination information is available on a separate nominations page.
