Board Positions & Roles

The board consists of seven members. Below are quick descriptions of what the different roles do... and you can click here to view the current board.

President - Oversees CMSRA and the Executive Board.

Treasurer - Oversees all CMSRA financial matters.
Chief of Referees - Responsible for referee training and recruitment.
2x Member at Large -  Fulfills duties designated by the Executive Board. 

Terms

Each position servers a one-year term (elections will also include a vote to amend the bylaws to change this to “Each position serves a two-year term”). If successful, this term will run from July 1, 2023 - June 30, 2025. The current board meets four to six times per year as well as various other membership activities. Depending on your position, you should expect to spend up to two hours per week working on CMSRA matters.

Rules

  • Elections will conclude at midnight on June 25. The new board will take office on July 1, but the old board will stick around to help with the transition.

  • Board members are expected to be full dues paying members.

  • Board members can live anywhere in Central Missouri. In fact, having folks not in Columbia is a huge asset.

  • You'll probably want to check out our bylaws to understand more. They're available on our documents page.

  • All voting will be done electronically. Voting will take place June 17 through June 25.

  • As the association was given ample time to submit nominations, “write-in candidates” will not be accepted.
