The Directorship positions are elected by the Board Members and the Board Members are elected by a vote of the general membership. In order to be considered for either a Directorship or a Board position, you must submit an application.

These positions should be taken seriously. The average time commitments for these positions will range from 15-20hrs per week for Board Members and 5-10hrs per week for other Directorship Level positions.

All volunteer roles in FMYSA are critical for creating a fun, positive, and constructive environment for our community's youth. Although the responsibility of each role varies, most of the directorship positions do 70% of their work getting a season underway. Once the season is started, the workload reduces dramatically.

Directors are assigned positions with a term of one year beginning in July. Some directorship roles require more experience than others, so please list all directorship roles you would be willing to fill for the league on the Directorship Application form.
