Board of Director Nominations

Deadline for Nominations is May 30th at 4:00 pm. Please email your nominations

to Kay Forgatsch at mailto:kayforgatsch@rocketmail.com

2013-2014 Position Descriptions

Please consider volunteering your time with Livermore American!

As you many know LALL is run 100% by volunteers and without them

there would be no LALL. No hot dogs, icees, movie night at the fields

and no life long memories for your players. The first step in that process is

to elect a new Board of Directors for 2013-104 which will take over Oct. 1

to prepare for the upcoming season. Please consider stepping up and

doing your part! The kids will thank you!

All of the board’s current positions are open to qualified candidates who may be either

self-nominated or nominated by someone else. Nominations should be made to LALL

Secretary, Kay Forgatsch at kayforgatsch@rocketmail.com

All LALL board seats are volunteer positions and all nominees are subject to a background check.

The deadline for nominations is Thursday, May 30th, 4:00pm.

Voting will take place at Closing Ceremonies on Saturday, June 1st, 10:00am to 2:00pm near the snack shack.
