AHAI and USA Hockey held their annual meetings over the last week or so. Here are brief recaps and highlights.
AHAI ANNUAL MEETING
AHAI hosted a new format this year focusing on member educational information. There were nine different sessions geared toward the AHAI affiliate clubs' leadership and Hockey Directors. We believe the AHAI Annual meeting was good step in AHAI's continuing goal of assisting the club volunteers perform their duties efficiently. AHAI intends to continue with this new format, improving the content and structure based on feedback provided by the AHAI club members.
The closing session included electing five AHAI Board of Directors and celebrating the achievements of a select few AHAI volunteers. AHAI Board Members voted in for 3 year terms are as follows: John Dunne, Bill Gomolinski, Greg Chudacoff. Gino Cavallini and Don Angelini.
AHAI is also pleased to announce that Bill Crowley has accepted an appointed AHAI Board position to fill out an unexpired term of an open AHAI board position. READ MORE>>
